Billet grille install help

96 f150 and I got this billet grille it's just an insert.. Take the old out and put the new in.. Well the instructions as are telling me to cut a hole in the shroud and drill new holes and I'm at a loss the images that are supposed to represent it are not very good.. So has anyone installed a billet grille and went thru this?

They want you to probably cut a hole in the header panel so you can access the secondary latch.

You will need to drill holes for the screws to hold the new grill in
