is there an easy way to remove this one piece..im wantin to do some work to it and paint it..id rather take off then mask off the bumper..

ive been tryin for bout 10 mins..but there so many of them clips is there an easy way to get this crazy mo fo off?

 

I took the bumper off(4 bolts lazy) and it made it 100% easier. Then just get some pliers or vise grips and pinch the lil clips underneath the bumper and pull up on the plastic pad as each clip releases.

edit: On re-install, pinch the clips sideways to expand them so they snap back tight when you put it back on the bumper =]

Make sure your paint is extra dry, I'm talking at least a day of curing before you try to put it back on. It's kind of a PITA to get all the clips snapped back in.

 

right on thanks travis..i got shems(sp?).. got em loose stuck that in to hold it from goin back in..
