Punch it in, pull it out.

I believe that it is held in with clips on the rear of the bumper cover. I think you must removed the bumper cover, then take off the grill and the reinstall the bumber cover...

I need a DIY for the center grill in front of the FMIC

Still confused about this one, does it literally just push out?
