It comes out. Use a flat head, take a good look at the fasteners and youll see what to do. I just pryed and they pop out like butter. Remember plastic will bend before it breaks, so dont be affraid to give it a little elbow grease. But you should be okay. The slider things on the sides are a pita though. Do on side first, then the top or bottom, then the other side, then the reamaining top or bottom.

I want to keep the rings but not the outer chrome ring. So I was hoping to just pop it out......Thanks for the help

I actually just repainted the inner part, but I think I'm going to go with the black out look, and paint the rings and trim as well as the rear 4 rings. I'll update in like 20 mins or so.

I think I like the chrome trimmed out grill better. Not sure yet. I may redo it in flat black instead.
