    Front bumper trim removal (Late model)

    it seems to not want to pop out of its clips. I try to pull it but i am afraid of it snapping and i have tried a skinny tool wrapped in towel to try and get under it but it still seems like it will brake. Any body have ideas?

    The clips that hold the trim to the bumper cover are built in to the trim. It's pretty much impossible to remove the trim without breaking AT LEAST half of the clips. Your best bet is to buy some new Euro (non sidemarker) trim and just swap it out.

          Mine are practically all broken, except for like less than 5 for the front bumper, trim removers dont help much either in saving them
