Replacing upper molding above grill

I have a pretty good dent of the upper molding above the grill. I want to replace it with this part: https://www.mazdaswag.com/oem-parts/mazda-upper-molding-tk48507e1d64

Looks like I just have to unscrew the old one to replace it. But, has anyone replaced this and is it fairly easy to do?

It's clipped and riveted on. I took the entire bumper off to remove grill then separate the trim from the grill.
The service procedure for Mazda 3 is to drill the rivets out but I used pilers to break them. I watched this video for reference

I'll upload some pictures when I get a chance.

Is it possible to replace the molding without removing the entire bumper? I have a nasty dent on it and I need to replace it.
