Ahh.. the installation. It's kind of tricky; i had my gearhead friend give me a hand. heres what you'll need to do.

1) pop the hood
2) remove black plastic cover near front
3) remove red bar going across (left/right) the front
this is tricky, you'll want a 10mm socket wrench, 10mm regular wrench, 12mm socket wrench, 12mm regular wrench. don't be intimidated! remove all the ones on the top of the bar. remove the trunk latch from the bar, there's two or three screws holding that in place. then remove the horn from the front left of the bar (if your facing the car's hood), then do the one left of that, and the corresponding one all the way on the right side. then, you need to remove that big black metal bracket holding the bar to the hybrid synergy drive silver box. do this with a 12 mm socket. then slowly lift the bar out, and you'll have access to the area behind the factory grill, this is important because it is a bolt over grill.
4) remove the grill from the box, bend the edges on the sides so that they're straight (you'll see what i mean, they bend in a few mm during shipping). position it over the factory grill and insert screws into the holes.
5) while you hold this in place, have a friend stick their hand down the hood and slip first a bracket on, then a washer, and then a nut, make it fingertight
6) repeat! its a lot of fun cutting your elbow-pit on the plastic lip (you'll see what i mean)
7) tighten
8) bask in the glory of your almost but not too ricey prius
