If I recall, there are two screws on the lower side of the cover. You have to get down there to see them because they are sort of hidden.

There are two very small phillips head screws on the bottom side that need to be removed. You'll need a skinny screwdriver to get it in the gap between the cover and the body. Take those screws out, then push down on top of the frame to get the tabs to release. I did this a few weeks ago, and I'm still not used to the plate yet.

Thanks for the help guys
Yea---The plate does not look as clean on the front. I had hopes that the clear cover would help contour the body and make it look better.

I've got the clear cover on my FRC and it does help in the looks dept. Not as good as no plate, but at least this way they can see the plate, even if it is still technically illegal.

I don't have any good pics, but here is one from right after I got the windows tinted.
