Default Vararam installation in process PLEASE HELP!

I am trying figure out how to remove the clips that are about half
way up on each side of the shroud. Looks to be a plastic ribbed
stud with maybe a metal ring/clip holding it in place. There is limited
access to this area so if anyone has a tip for removal I would be
very grateful.

Thanks in advance cause I know you guys are good!

My opinion is they are not worth the time to mess with. I just pulled (pried) them from the metal frame underneath leaving them attached to the shroud. Even removing this way they can be reused and they are easier to work with when the shroud is removed from the car. I did not replace them when I installed the Vararam I used black cable ties.

Thanks, I just did the same and popped it loose from under the car.
I like your idea with the ties.
