I don't mean to sound like an ass, but did you een take a look at how you might get it off. Usually there are 2 or 4 screw or bolts.
 






mine are only held on by two screws.. get a screwdriver and unscrew
 






haha ok so i said it wrong.. not the plate itself but the plate bracket that goes through the bumper
 






drill out the rivets.
 






I wanna take mine off to but won't it leave two big holes in the bumper.
 






mine came without a front licence bracket. The factory holes are hardly noticeable
 






I took my front plate off and it left 2 big ugly holes in the bumper cover! :fire:

But I solved the problem by covering the holes with a new winch... :bounce:
 






when i took mine off, it left two holes for screws. So, I just went over to Home Depot and got some bolts to match the ones that are on the air dam for cosmetic looks. Chrome on chrome, looks good.
