I will recommend people just don't even bother to do this when its freezing cold out. I came close to breaking a tab on the bumper itself due to lack of flex and one of the plastic pieces from the grill getting bent and then stuck in one of the clips. If I didn't break it then I came damn near close LOL but I'm pretty sure I did not because my grills sit perfectly flush.
It's 35F outside now I was trying to take out the grill. snapped one of the blades and wasn't able to remove the grill......

Damn it I might just break a few more blades and release the grill with fingers.

Who knows this is harder than I was expecting.
