Use a hammer. Oh wait,y ou don't want to break it. HAHA!

Um, try searching for scres/bolts that keep it in place. If you can't find any, then resort to searching your Owner's Manual for information on the subject.

rip it off, it comes off just by pulling hard but wont be reuseable. unless your gonna use it for something then just rip it off, other wise you will have to take the whole fascia off to get it off without breaking anything.

Grab and yank was the method I used. Came off without breaking.

This is how I learned. https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-racing-tech/318997-anyone-have-write-up-how-remove-front-bumper-support.html Thanks to "GM Muscle" also if you go to RKsport.com you can download a pdf file of how to install the ss grill and it shows you a diagram of the bumper and the screws. Good Luck!

I'll second that. Yank method worked but tore my hands up a little bit.
