I don't know about the ge8 but with the gd3 there are 4 tabs on the top of the bumper which I can see in your pic. Then I believe there are four on the bottom and I think a screw or bolt in each front wheel well then you have to pop it off.

you will be alright jtest, this doco is published by HONDA...you gotta trust them, However you also need lots of guts, its not easy, that pdf should give you enough information to go, just read carefully and do it very very carefully, when I finished replacing the grille i talked to myself, "oh mann, that was tough, i will never ever remove it again..." so...good luck
