If I remember corretly after removing the top screws, pull top away from radiator support area then lift up releasing lower tabs from indents.

Its pretty easy actually........

First take off the 4 Screws (Which you have done)
Pick one side first Right or Left Side and push in towards the radiator gently (if you put to much force you may break the grills or ram it into the radiator or something) and you'll hear a pop which is poping off the clip (You'll understand what I mean when you actually get it off and look at the weird design. Once that is off proceed to the next end and follow the same steps and its out! Hope this helps.

Ive taken mine off a few times working on a project which I will post in a day or two why I took the grill off!!
