Try to change to RS4 grill.....How do you get all the tabs at the same time to push the grill out?

Either two sets of hands or....
Start at one corner and as yo squeeze the tab gently push that corner out a bit. It will hold the tab open.
Keep moving from one side to the other...
I've done it many times by myself...

Just go slowly.
You don't want to break any of the tabs by forcing them.
I usually start from one side: depress a couple of tabs, and then push out slightly on the grille so that they're "halfway" out. Then move on to the next few tabs. And so on, around the grille.

Take a pair of pliers, grip onto one of the rings, and YANK reeeeeeeeal hard!...
okay, don't do that..
go behind the grill and take a flat head screw driver and ever-so-carefully push each tab towards the inside...each one in succesion until it just snaps out.
simple as crack-cocaine!

Easy way to do it by yourself..........use a very small flathead screwdriver and pry a tab (more)
partially open. Insert a credit card (or something similar)so the tab cannot close, move to the next one....and so on. You still have to unclip the ends of the grille, but by the time you have most of the tabs loosened you should be able to shift the trim off the mesh. Good luck.
