I used a Screw Driver with a Cloth on it...........however the easiest thing to do is just take the whole front fascia off.

It certainly isnt easy. Be sure to protect your paint with masking tape and start at the edges and work your way in. Those two most center clips are a bear to get too but if you remove the pan under the car you can reach them from there a little easier.

Good luck

LOL.. Do you guys have huge bear claws or something?

Just remove the clips that hold the top radiator cover with a flat blade screw driver. Pull the grill from the headlights and than just reach down and remove it from the bottom two. I did it for the first time in a few minutes.

I hate those tabs -- There is always one that won't seem to give in... I just use a flat head screwdriver
