cake is actually optional---remove the bolts holding the upper section in place, pull the upper edge of the grille towards you about 45 degrees, pull up and the "j" hooks (2 ea.) will disengage from their lower mounting points. the "hooks" have to come undone, so you may have to pull a bit. if not cooperating, pivot the grill top backk and forth keep pulling until it comes out. not necessary to yank real hard, just show it who is boss.
in my opinion, painting the stuff behind the grille with flat black will keep that stuff from showing through your new grille. makes the newly installed grille stand out--bling, bling
good luck
