Default Help removing front bracket?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to take the front "aero panel" bracket off the car and I can't figure out how the supposedly quick release latches work.

I've removed the plate, and then completely unscrewed the 2 giant plastic screws that hold it in but the darn thing is still firmly attached to the grille, even with those screws in my pocket instead of in the bracket.

Anyone know how this is supposed to work? You're supposed to remove it before running on a track so I know it isn't a permanent installation and I must be doing something screwy. I want to take it off to swap it with a painted one.

Thanks.

Once the plastic screws are loosened or removed, grab the sides and pull it will come off.
