Removing Grille

So I took a look at it but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the grille and I didn't want to force anything. Can anyone help?

Actually, if you lightly take a needle-nose pliers to the top Right, and Left of the grille, then it will come out easily if you squeeze the retainers in those holes.

Be nice though. Once you break the plastic, it's real easy to remove the grille from that point on.

Both are already broken and it's held on with plastic zip ties. Doesn't seem to come off easy but I'll make another attempt tomorrow.

Hey if you get the grill off, can you please post a picture of what the car looks like without the front grill.

Thanks, Jordan.
