Default ZR1 - Front Grill Removal

While it sounds simple... I want to just make sure (so as not to snap any plastic), that the front grill is only held in with the visible push-pins, then pressure fit on the sides? I have the pins out (literally) and it seems that pulling from the front-center will allow a removal? Although it looks-like the side tabs may need some help from the rear.

(I need to remove because it looks like the right side of the "tunnel" flap has come out, so I dont have straight air on the right side into the radiators)

Went to PlanB. You can remove the (3) bolts from underneath and the foam skirt will drop down enough where you have about 2" of space to get up inside. I put (2) push-pins on the right (facing)... actually drivers side, one up high in the elongated slot, then another at the bottom and its solid in-place! The upper though required some VERY lone needle-nose pliers to put that pin up there.
