Pop the hood..behind it there are four things that hold it in place..push and pull in them and they should pop out...try and pry the little tabs up with a screw driver....otherwise you may break them off. i just took mine off like a week ago to paint them. its really easy..just becareful you dont break them.

try and pull them straight out..get a small screwdriver back there and try and pry the little things up while pulling out.

I still have problems, removing it the top clips are easy to get out but the bottom ones don't come out at all. I have tried to use a screwdriver to pull up on them but that doesn't help. I have also tried to pull down on them no luck either I have tried to pull on it but that will just break it. The only thing the bottom ones do is slide around. Any ideas???

i put a screw driver underneath the two clips on the bottom of the grill , pushed up and then pulled them out

So I would need to pull up on the bottom tabs at the same time and pull them out as well, right?

yea pry a screwdriver under them, and pull out. You can do one side at a time. They should just come right out. But yea becareful, i broke one of the bottom tabs when i took mine out.
