Default front license plate bracket

Anyone know how to get it off? Its on my fx2 and if im looking at it right all it is, is the 2 tabs on top and then maybe 2 tabs going in between the bumper and lower valance? Are these brackets drilled into the body at all? Id really like to take it off.

Two of the tabs just pop out if you tug them hard enough. after that, you can pull the bracket forward enough to stretch the other two tabs a bit (the ones that go in between the bumper parts) and cut them with a carpet knife (or other extremely sharp blade). Be careful not to nick the bumper while you're cutting. After that, you can work it out of there pretty easily. That's the first "mod" I did after buying my truck, lol.

I got under the truck and pushed the lower tabs down and forward and they came right out then you just lift it off the front bumper its really easy and requires no cutting
