if its anything like my imp (i have the same grille on my car) there were 2 or 4 push plugs you have to pull out (on either side of the hood latch just above the grille), then the grille just un-snaps from its holder, and snaps back into them.

were they the two end clips?

this happened to mine, decided to just install it and see how it was affected.. they didn't do much but I did give to company a bad score and suggested they add a little packing foam with their product.
