It's suppose to come out to ur side.. horizontally pull out.

It's kinda hard to pull that clip that's into the bumper. I accidentally broke the clip. :(

Instead of pulling it out, try use something to push the clip out. That's the way I did mine.

im really stuck lol,

on each side at the bottom of the grill theres like 2 big tabs they dont wanna move, they want to take the bumper with it

:(

Try pushing the clip down while pulling on the grill. If that doesn't work, try putting a flat blade under the clip and lever it up while pulling on the grill. I can't remember the orientation of the clip.

That's about the best I can explain it. If you have good eyes, use a torch and look at how the clip locks in. It should be fairly obvious after that.
