Never removed the grille myself, but this video on YouTube seems to show how:


Hope this helps!

Pull the 4 push clips out. Then pull on the grill. There are tabs on the bottom that clip into the bumper. Make sure you press them in the correct direction. It should come off without much trouble

Is it the chrome grill or the honeycomb? I have the chrome (as you can see) and have removed it several times now for attaching badges. There are instructions online, if you search, that shows the location of the various attachment points and the sequence.
