Default Radiator shroud removal?

I'm trying to remove the top of the fan shroud to get access to the back of my grille to remove the nuts holding on the "Dodge" badge. I see no screw etc. Is this simply a snap-on piece, or are there some hidden latches I need to pick?

There are no nuts or screws It just snaps on there.
look carefully behind it and gently pry it off

As Steve said it snaps in place.. Use a plastic pry tool and gently pry it off!

I used a small tool with a hook on it. The badge has two tabs one behind the "O" and the other behind the "E". the tabs release from the bottom upward in the center of the tab. Hoep this helps, but pretty straight forward, even the paddy could it

Crazy part is I have a girl I work with, we got the same 2012 RT's a few months apart, mine from dealership, she had hers built. I had a 2011 badge on mine, no hash marks, also I found out afterwards that a 2011 radio was put in also that only had the 30GB radio and not the 40GB. took allot of work, but finally had radio replaced. I had a dream the other night the hypertech was installed, but woke up and it was still in the box waiting on me for install #2.

I'm raising my sights here. I found a guy selling his used 2012 OEM chrome Citadel grille that comes with the red-stripe "Dodge" badge. If I can make the deal I'm a third of the way home. Step 2 is sneaking it past The Comptroller and Step 3 is the install -- without breaking anything. :-)
