You need to go under the car and lift the small spiked tabs. Then pull out

i took mine out for literaly a day and put it back in, too much exposure and got a bunch of bugs on a 15 mile ride. So i ended up sanding it down with the upper grilles and painting them gloss black and clear coated them. Looks alot better imo. maybe ill post pic later

What ever you do don't pull on it if your standing in front of it. You have to go under and pull. Well, after you remove the clips.

push up the clips so they arent attached to the bumper than take it out of the bumper away from the car.
