Tool needed to install Street Scene grille?

I bought the Street Scene center fog light grille, and am reading the installation instructions. It says you need a special tool to remove the fasteners that hold the radiator cover in place. Is there a trick to this without having the special tool, or do I need to go buy it in the morning before I start?

I didn't use a special tool.... just a little finesse in getting the factory piece out. You'll see what I mean when you get into it- not a big deal though, really. Just take your time and pay attention, you'll be fine.

Look at the pins very carefully, there is in the center of them a smaller round piece,you can take a knife and pry it up. once the center is up the pin just pulls out.then when you re-install the cover put the pin with the little piece up, place it in the hole where it goes,then push center pin down ,this locks it in place. hope this helps. no special tool needed.

Small flat blade screw driver to lift the center pin works well too. If the center pin comes completely out, don't dispair, just reassemble after you get the outer section out.
