I just pulled on it. Pull the sides first then work on the middle.

This is the correct way to do it.

There are 3 nuts and 3 clips if I remember correctly.

You can do it by just pulling, just don't go crazy on it.. Take your time and look where you should be pulling..

Taking the bumper will keep you from ruining the plastic piece but is a much longer/pain in the *** process.

he will have to take of the bumper to put the new grill on anyways i think so might as well not risk damaging the bumper by ripping off the stock grill

The 3 "nuts" are plastic, undo all the clips on the bottom, then one by one, yank the **** out of the top ones. Thats how I undid mine. If you have aaaallooottttttt of free time, take the bumper off. other wise pulling works like a damn champ.
