If it's attached like the factory grille, you have to pry really hard.

I have the bow tie delete on my car. You have to get your hands behind the grille and there are a couple of tabs on the factory bow tie that you have to press inwards (if i remember correctly) and push the bow tie out at the same time. The new bow tie delete just pushes in. I think i had to take a cover plate off (cover over and top of radiator) to get my hands behind the grille.

I have it attached to the heritage grill.

The whole assembly is held in by two screws from the back. I assume you are trying to remove the whole thing, landing pad and all.

mine had the landing pad attached with a couple plastic nuts from the back.

Will the bowtie pop out so I can just take the pad off from the front?

The chrome bowtie separates from the black bowtie back piece. Get a thin knife between the chrome and black plastic, slowly work it out. It is just pushed in with several tabs. Then once the chrome bowtie is off, you will see the screws behind it.

If the grille bars are a little fubar'd from the mounting, stick something between the bars and leave it in the sun for a while it will straighten everything back out.

Exactly! I used a small thin screwdriver and pry'd at the furthest outside edge (far left side...between chrome and backplate) and it'll start to pop off. There's two wide plastic tabs near the center of the bowtie holding it onto the black section.

taking the bowtie off the heritage grill was a pain in the a$$ for me.

it helps to take off the metal cover that sits right where the hood latch is. you can probably reach your arm behind the grill without the cover.

for me, i couldnt really get my arm behind the grill because i have large forearms. and i couldnt stick my fingers thru the grill either.

in the end, i slid a flat head screw driver between the chrome emblem and plastic mount and pried it off. i worked around all 4 sides to slowly loosen each side. it probably took me 30 minutes of brute force to loosen the emblem from the plastic mount. it was a crude method but it worked.

once the emblem was off, you can just unscrew the mount.

I finally got the darn thing off. I was just afraid of breaking something.. thanks for the help
