ummm

well if you really dont want to hirt it you kinda have to take off your front bumper and remove the plastic things holding it on from the back....

once you realize that is a big pita....pull the side out...than tug on the bottom untill it pops out...you will hear some things falling....its ok its just the clips on the bottom pieces...

than grab and pull to get the top 2 out....i had to pull really hard but it came off!

just carefully yank it out without bending it anywhere. There are just press-on clips on the back that will fall off.

If you don't want to trash anything. Get a long screwdriver and wrap some tape over it(to prevent scratching you paint), and pry the clips off.
