At this point I'm considering using a Dremel to cut the tabs off and just throw the stock grilles away...unless anyone else is having luck getting the stock grilles out?

Kimi,
I tried that method on the PDF, but creeps me out after a few forceful try and the chrome part didn't even come off.
So, I did the supposedly a hard way, but seems to me the easy way.
I took off the top 5 screws on the bumper and pull out the top part of the bumper a lil to get access to the clips from the back.
I did manage to do that and played with plasti-dip for the first time.
Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the finish. So, I put it back again.
Anyway, when you yank out the bumper, just enough so you can slide your hand to the bottom 3 clips.
