>>>Although your Pinnocchio-meter may be pegged, Jack is broadly correct, 
just fuzzy on detail here.   It's true that you'll never be able to reach the 
trunk latch from the front.   But the TSB states the intent of the new 
grille IS to allow access to the trunk from the front in case of latch failure.  
 It says this is achieved by removing the grille which allows access to the 
hood hinges; they can be carefully unbolted and then the hood withdrawn 
straight forward until the pin is free from the latch, then it can be lifted 
off.
