Default stock grille

After you take the stock grille off, how do you get the push-nuts and the metal clips out from inside the fascia? They fall in when you snap the grille out.

Nevermind I got them out. Next question is how do you put the stock or another grille back in? You cant get to the top slots without either taking the whole fascia off or cutting out that black foam that is behind the fascia. Any suggestions?

If you still have the grille off maybe I can help? I had a similar question a while back when I pulled my grille with the plate holder for a new factory piece that I put some chrome inserts in. The response I got was that the only way to get it in place to stay is with some industrial strength double sided tape made by 3M. I picked up some for mine from Home Depot, but right now my car is just sitting with the bottom clips holding it in place.
