I'd assume they get easier each time the tabs pop through their holes. If you break something don't blame me! Same thing to remove the mirror caps, start closest to the car and pull them off(swapped for carbon fiber).

I did this when I put the aftermarket matte grilles on and take them off, but I succeed only to broke two attacments of matte grilles and it felt quite brutal. I also scared to broke my front bumper. But good to know that there is faster way to do it also.
BTW, here are the part numbers in case anyone needs them.
