Removing Tow Hook Cover?

What's the simplest method for removing the front bumper tow hook cover? I just took a quick look today and it looks like you might be able to get to it by removing the front grill and pushing it out from the inside. I want to install the Stillen front plate adapter over the weekend.

I have an 03 G35 Coupe...
Thanks guys!

i guess he was worried about messing up the paint if he uses a flathead to pop it out from the front

That and I also want to make sure that I do not rip it off and break any clips that might be used to affix it to the bumper. People really need to find something worthy to do with their time than to criticize everything they read on the net.
