Question Removal of LT1 Intake Grilles

When I purchased my car, it had a tiny bit of polish stuck up behind the intake grilles on the hood. I took it in to my shop to detail the car today and pressure washed the polish off. In the process, however, I stripped a tiny bit of paint behind the grilles. I can see 4 clips holding the grille in place, but how exactly would I go about removing them? Thanks.

They pop out really easily, just kind of work them around abit while pulling up and out. There are like 3 or 4 studs of plastic across the top and bottom that stick out and are held in place by small holes in the hood. The ones on the bottom are whats really holding it in place.

I took mine out a couple of weeks ago and painted them silver, its a nice little appearance mod.
