How to remove front grill???

Just as the title states, how do I remove the grill? Any help would be appreciated. Oh, it is a 1993 DX.

The reason, I am asking is I think my hood cable broke, so I figured if I took the grill off I could pop the hood. Does anyone have any other suggestions, like if the grill doesn't come off with out the hood open. Thanks.

It's pretty easy to remove, get a phillips head screwdriver and remove the one screw in the center by the hood latch, then take a flathead screwdriver and go to either side of the grill and you will see little pieces in back of the grill that "connect" with the headlight housings to hold the grill in place, stick the flathead in and press the tabs down on each one and the tabs will pop loose. Do this for each one. There are 2 by each headlight and 1 below where the screw was in the middle.
