Front Grill Removal

I know this may be a long shot.... Anybody remove the grill yet? I don't see any screws or clips from the front..... Can't figure it out.

Need to get this thing off to paint the pieces, and would rather bring the parts to the body shop rather than the whole car.

There is one for sale on Ebay look at the photo of the backside. it looks like there are just tension tabs that would clip in? Also check out the first couple of front pics and zoom in.

This actually helps with removal of the star and wings, but I still have to figure out how to remove the entire grill... Maybe one will lead to the other...
