I'm one of those that removed it by just pulling it straight forward. Prior to doing so, I drove the car around the neighborhood for 10 minutes then parked it. The heat generated by the engine bay helps make the tabs more flexible. So I just grabbed the grill with both hands and gave it a nice tug. Popped right now. However, if you decide to go this route, make sure you tape up the bumper area immediately around the grill in case you jerk back, accidentally make contact and potentially scratch the bumper's paint. I'm not recommending you do it this way so it's proceed at your own risk. But I did want to share the point about warming things up a bit so the plastic gives a little easier. Thanks.
