removing front grille?

I'd like to take the grille out to put some fog lights behind it. I see the srcews on top that hold it, but on the bottom I see the metal clips and couldn't get them to pull out(didn't want to break something) has any one took it off? Is there something else holding this?

Nothing else, just those 4 clips. I didn't have a skinny enough screwdriver close by so I managed somehow to reach behind and push the clips from the back. I have really long arms so it worked. Get a long thin screwdriver or something to lift the bottom of that clip up and pull straight out carefully.

I just replaced my grille and I did use the screwdriver and push the clip up and pull the grille out of slot one at a time til all 4 are out and it is all out.
