HELP, after removing the fasteners there is no way I could bend the tabs down to remove the clips,I spent two hours and couldn't even get one of the out.Tried prying with screw driver and no human on earth has fingers strong enough to get those tabs out. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/bluesman455/Smileys/huh.gif

Once I got the first clip undone on the far left side, I used my trim removal pry bar to go around and pop the remaining clips out 1 by 1. These were just cheap plastic trim removal tools I bought from Harbor Freight.

Just did mine today wasn't bad at all. Cut the bumper with a pocket knife since I was too lazy to get my dremel tool cutoff wheel. Took maybe 10-15 minutes max.
