go slow, or you'll spider web the bumper by the yank method.

why do you want to remove it anyway? ...i think it looks incomplete and as if something is missing if nothing is there.... if you gonna go that route you should at least have the holes filled in

The only piece I had break was the female ends for the screws. If you want to take it off without breaking **** the whole bumper has to come off unless you have a friend with real skinny arms who can somehow maneuver a phillips screw driver to the two srews holding on to the grill.

I tried to "yank" mine off, but there was no way in HELL it was going to. It was actually easier to remove the whole front clip...lol
