I came across the pieces I need but in order to install them, it looks like I need to remove the radiator, pull the existing grill and attach the new strips and reinstall the unit in one piece. The engine is still in place. Is there an easier way?

The advantage is you can set the front clip on saw horses and get other things cleaned up while it's off.
