Need help: remove front grill emblem

I'm trying to remove the infiniti logo from my front grill. Can anybody help? I think I can unclip it from behind the grill, but can't figure out how to get the radiator cover off.

You gotta take off the radiator to do it, unless you have really long fingers you can clip it out

Great idea! Now, how do I remove that cover to get to it? If I remove the 8 or so screws that hold it on, it's still help in place. There seems to be some clips in the front, but I'm concerned about breaking something.

Remove the screws all round the radiator cover 10MM should do it, All the clips, Remove the Anti freeze box (1 screw on each side), slide em aside, and try to slide the cover up-wards, cause there's some fake screws that are located behind the anti freeze box (see 2 holes) that holds the cover in, try to get it out and slide your hand in, If no luck, You may have to drop the bumper a bit.

Use a flat head to get the clips out, Just slide it under and lift the tip of the screw driver up, When putting them back in, Pull them out a bit from the circular clip and put the fingers in first then push the Head in.

Wow. That's unexpectedly complex. Is it any easier to get to the emblem from the bottom?

Unclip it where? If I squeeze the sides, nothing happens. I'm about ready to break the darn thing.

Dude! I just walked out to my car and popped it out for the hell of it. This is not science.

Pinch the clips and pull.

Let me try this another way - What freakin clips are you talking about? There are no obvious clips on my front grill emblem. If by "clips" you mean the sides of the emblem itself, then my car's not the same as yours. I just about ripped the whole grill off my car by squeezing in the sides and pulling.

There is two clips behind the emblem, one clip on each side of the emblem. You have to "squeeze" or "pinch" it for it to pop out it.... lol @ elite!

This is bad. I can have the rad cover and emblem off in less than 5 minutes. 8 clips and 6 (I think) 10mm bolts, rad cover pulls off and squeeze tabs on emblem and it pops right off.
