Front inlet grille removal

Anyone know how to remove the front stock plastic horizontal inlet grilles? Looking to remove all 3. I'm hoping that it doesn't require removing the bumper cover. Also would like to remove them intact in case I want to reinstall.

Anyone running without these? They don't appear functional unless the frame is providing support to the bumper opening.

Would like to try the unobstructed gaping maw intake look.

Thanks,
Nels

Arrgh. That's what I was afraid of.

I've seen plenty of how-to's to accomplish this but probably not worth the effort for an experiment in aethetics.

Thanks for the quick reply!
