There's an allen head bolt under the bottom center of the radiator cover. Unscrew that it comes right off. Run your fingers along the bottom of the radiator cover and you'll feel it. I don't remember what size it is off the top of my head.

Ditto! Torx head on mine...forget the size though! Of course I didn't have that size when I needed it!

yes torx head screw, also be sure when you put it back on you have those tab just so in the rubber mounts on the top, they really don't click in its more of a compression fit but will rattle if they are not right.

Weird that mine was allen head but it certainly does make my life easier as I have a lot more allen head wrenches laying around than torx. Maybe the original owner did as well and swapped it out.
