Hey, I was trying to remove the grill so I could paint it, but i'm having a really hard time removing it. I have read the posts on how to remove it over and over, but I still can't manage to release the 4 clips on the bottom and the 2 clips on the top right/left corners. I'm afraid to pull too hard on the bottom clips because it feels like its going to snap. Can anybody give any more in-depth information on how I should get to these clips and the proper way to remove them. Thanks.

First I loosened the bottom for clips by lightly tugging on the girl and pushing the 4 clips out with my thumb.. After I loosened all 4 clips. I stuck my head in all the way inside to where I can see the top corner clips.. I just aligned it so they would come out perfectly then pulled the grill out and pushed the clip away till it popped out.
Use a flat head screw driver to help.
