Default Need help removing front bumper trim

Okay I have a feeling this is going to be really simple, but I just can't figure it out. Can somebody tell me how to undo the two fasteners on the ends of the bottom trim of the front bumper?

Which trim piece are you talking about?



For 16 or 19 there are just torx screws all the way around. The next piece (13) has plastic clips that aren't really reusable, IIRC, they are molded into the plastic. If you take it off, you have to replace the entire piece. Unless you can rig it with some sort of adhesive.

If they aren't molded into the plastic then just rip them off and get some new ones from clipsandfasteners.com if the parts store doesn't have them.
