The bottom ones are actually fairly easy. You just push them up (or down maybe) they're just a regular "catch" style latch.
The top push-clip things break all the time. Ideally, you want to take a flat-blade screwdriver and pop up the center part about 3/8" and the the entire thing should pull out... but it rarely works out that way. I just bought a ton of them off ebay and replace them as I break them.
Probably, the issue you're having is with the two weird square latch things on the corners... there's a DIY somewhere around, I'll see if I can find it. I'll also dig up that ebay link for you.

I've taken my grill on and off so many times it comes off very easily now. When it was still fitting really tight I believe I had to push down on those bottom clips and pull the bottom of the grill out. But before you that you need to remove the top clips as Ashley described and take a pair of pliers and and dislodge the two square latches the backside of the grill at the top on either side.
Thanks to both of ya for responding so quick.
^I was using two at once on one side.
There's a clip inside there you have to push in, and pry outwards on the grill at the same time.
I can't seem to find that DIY

The DIY was so-so... I had to use a different method to remove the square ones... but the pics really helped.
Yeah the pics were helpful to get started but the square ones drove me nuts, had to meet up with a Sedan friend who had done it before to help me.
Really? I mean it looks like they're on the car with 2 screws and a couple plastic clips on the bottom. Easy to popoff and repaint/sand. Or maybe I should just remove all 4 from the car?
Yeah, that one.
You found this thread, right?

Oh I didn't mean for taking the off/ putting on... that's gravy. I just meant to get the paint right.
Or you can buy the right tool for the job and NEVER damage them EVER. I have these pliers that are designed specifically for pushpins and never have broken ones anymore.
