Re: LS1 front grill
I guess if you pull hard enough on any body panel it will come off 
. The safest way, without risking breaking something, is to remove the bumper cover and remove the fasteners that hold the grill on. I had my bumper cover off for painting and decided to put a bowtie grill on while it was off. I can't see how you can just pull the grill off, with the type of fasteners that they have holding it on, without breaking something.

JoeMack is right you cant possibly pull it off without destroying something. Those little press metal nuts really bite into the plastic. (3 ea) The ONLY way to remove it without killing it is pull the cover and remove the 3 nuts holding the top of the grill.

Well I dunno mine came off fine and nothing broke. But maybe thats because I had took one off my old camaro before and it was just easier lol i dunno.. I didnt care if I broke mine though because I had my billet grill to put on. So yeah you might wanna like be careful

Re: LS1 front grill
You can try what I did: I pulled off the top 3 tabs and the 2 side ones, those are easy. Then I tried to pull the bottom 3, but they didn't want to come out easy, so I just cut them. Just bend the grill, so you can get to the plastic going into the bumper and cut each one. I found it easier to cut the left and right ones first, then the middle one.
The only bad thing about doing this, is that if you ever want to put it on, it won't be too secure, it won't fall off by itself though, unless you pull on it.
