help with custom grill installation

i was trying to remove my grill today so that i could put my home depot mesh on it, but that thing just didn't want to come out. i read maxima10to1's writeup, but i can't find all of clips he talks about. i found the two vertical ones easily cuz they're right in front of you when you look down. and i think i know about 2 of the horizontal ones that connect the upper parts of the grill to the headlight assemblies. the two horizontal ones are what i'm having problems with. i tried pulling on the grill a little, but i didn't want to break the clips so i stopped. is there a way to pinch the clips so i can remove the grill...the space is too small to stick a normal screwdriver or even pliers to pinch the clip. please help with any advice. thanks

Under the nissan emblem there is a little hole, you need to look inside there and you will see a space to stick a flathead screw driver in. What you need to do is turn it ?clockwise? and it will fall right to you... The grill that is

Yea its the same for the 2 upper end clips too, using the flat head to turn it like a screw. Its hard to explain, but it is simple. slip the flat head into the top cut out and turn the clips. if you wanna be like me just rip the grille out without rotating the clips, of corse I broke one. I also never turn them back to lock it into place so i don't care anyway (not to mention you can't lock the middle one, behind the emblem, because the mesh gets in the way.
