There is a recent thread in the DIY section. Take a look, it should answer your question.

Rears takes 5secs to remove. Use a old credit card or something similar and slide it behind the lower corner edge closest to the license plate. Keep sliding it under while applying some pulling pressure and it pops right out . Pull from the side of the license plate out wards to the side of the car. Real simple.
