Default Front blast brackets remove?

So I got A dealer trade care that was still on the boat and it has the little plate on the grill for the plate. Does anyone know how to remove them?

I was able to remove them pretty easily, was able to reach around the back going under the grill and just push, they are basically 2 parts

How hard did you have to push? feels like I'm going to break the grille. Are there any tabs to squeeze to help them release? Pics?

mine said they push out. I decided to install a German plate with same number as back plate. Good news is the local toll roads can't read the German style/European plates and I'm not getting auto billed anymore... Been almost a year and no mail charges either...

These do not push outward, they push inward. Start with one side and push in on the outside of the bracket, then inside. Mine fell inside the grill and I was able to fish them out through the chin spoiler opening.

so you just push these inward and they popped off and grill looked good?

Exactly! push on the outside of each bracket and you will feel it pop/push in a 1/4". Now push on the inside of each and they should fall inside the grill and you can pull them out of the very bottom.
