Angry Removing Clips

How do you remove the little clips that hold the air dam/diffuser on without breaking them?

If you don't know what I'm talkig about and needs pictures I can take a couple and post them.

If you're talkin about those bug clips that hold the air dam to the bumper, I used 2 regular screw drivers and pryed the pin up and the pry theflat piece up. That should do it but they are tough especially the one on the ends because they are harder to get to.

Yep, what he said....

After reinstalling the air dam with the same clips, mine didn''t hold the lower air dam up to the bumper as snug as it did before I removed it.
