if you must take it off, go VERY slowly...and be careful!
How do I remove the plastic strip on my upper grille?

yeah, if you dont want to risk anythign just mask. it'll take a little longer and extra care but you can get very similar results.
somone on the canada forums the dealer uses a "l-shape" tool to get it off. no breaks.
i wedged a flathead screwdriver in there. 2 breaks =(

hmm, i said it on the how-to. but i guess its vague:
5 snaps hold it in place, they are pictured below. For removal I used a screwdriver but broke the left female snap and the middle male part. 2 broken pieces out of 10 aint bad but still. A member of mpsport.net recommends using a L-shape tool to pop it off. Whatever you use, ust work slowly and all should be fine.
open your hood. looking at it straight down...pop a flat head into the crack between the strip and grill.
i think it would work better if you had two people slowly yank at the same time on oppostie sides to release all the snaps at once.
i dunno the "correct" technique..i just wanted to do it and did it my way.
anyoen more knowledgable about removal please post.
