The grill will rip, the car will not... pull harder.

I had the same problem the sides came off easy but the ceter was still attached. I ended up just cutting up the grill and then pulling out the tabs that hold the grill in.

F That...

I pulled the bumper.. and yes there are 'nuts' holding it on

Maybe im a little more '****' but guess what i'd rather spend 30mins than 500 bucks getting it repainted. Flexing paint = not generally a good idea...

You will not damage the paint. Just pull harder.

i just pulled mine out, same thing though, sides came out east, and middles were a bitch, there are 3 on top and 3 on bottom, get a flathead screwdriver and put a cloth on top of it, wont scratch paint, thats how i did mine, just "pop" it first, then pull

I saw two different people do the "pull harder" method and they both put spiderwebs in their paint from it. Dunno if it was factory paint or not, but it made me spend the extra half hour to pull the bumper when I did mine.
