Default Help with grill delete.

I'm trying to install the grill delete UPS dropped off yesterday, but stuck on step 1.
Is there a trick to removing the 6 plastic screw retainers along the top edge of the grill and fascia? Instructions say to reuse them, so i don't want to jack them up.

all you gotta do is use the screw driver, if the end ones are not coming up move to the center ones first and do not use a lot of pressure almost lift the screw driver when your unscrewing them. Those screws are more like pins you can almost just push them into place. The next part is a bitch getting the ones that are under the bumper lol I cut my hand up pretty good getting those.

EDIT: and then after you get past both of those steps comes the part where there are 2 push pin type things that have to come out (if i remember right) for those you just need to use some needle nose pliers and pull. Everything else is easy so those are probably the only problems you will have. Hope that helps a little

Thanks, i got them out using some long, thin needle nose pliers to reach thru the grill and squeeze the bottom while I screwed them out at the same time.....Pain in the ***. Taking out the old headlights made the two outside ones alot easier.
The rest was really easy. After today, my car looks much better. I hadn't done much cosmetically since 2000, but today I installed grill delete, smoked headlights, and shelby razor wheels. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
