Default Front "grill" removal?

How do you remove the "grill" without breaking it?


I read through the stickies and searched google and came up with 2 answers.

One said that it can be removed, just pull hard and it won't break and can be re-installed, the other said that the only way is to break the tabs and there is no chance to re-install it.

Can you guys help me out? Which is it?

Thanks

I just yanked mine out, but on the top middle of it there are two nuts holding it in behind the bumper cover, so my advice pull real hard and mine didn't break, those are the only two things actually securing it in.

It is very simple ... remove the bumper cover. It took me about 2 hours for the total install.

Here is the SLP install instructions ... http://www.jegs.com/InstallationInst...847-10668R.pdf

Pull slowly, took me one minute. You'll hear the three top nuts fall out of the back. I take mine off every time I wash it to put tire shine on it. It will stay on with just the clips, no need for the three nuts.

I pulled mine off on my first one, no damage.
