I pulled the top 6 bolts across the top and yes, I did release the top 3 grille clips, but the side and bottom ones, FORGET IT !!!!!!!!!
I made a tool similar to the one you posted and NO LUCK !!!!!!!!!
If someone is in my area of Central Oregon and wants to come and show me how its done, Ill even pay you !
I just want to pull my grilles so I can separate them and leave the outer rim chrome-ish and paint just the slats black !
Sorry guys, their not coming out !! I tried most of the day !!
Thanks

Sorry, I don't live anywhere near by or I'd give you a hand. It's OFFICIAL, I was able to remove mine, lol. It took ~1/2 hour to figure out how to remove them, would take < 10 minutes now that I know the technique. As I unclipped each clip I used a few trim removal tools to keep them from popping back in.
Sure it would be much easier to get to the clips with the cover off, but it IS doable with the cover in place. Start at the top and do it on a warm day so the plastic is more flexible.
