Default Bolt help under hood.

Ok. What I am trying to do is replace all the bolts and screws that hold the fenders and nose on. I want to replace them with stainless. I got the screws out, but I can not seem to figure out how to get the bolts/clips where the nose connects under the hood. I beleive there are 5 of them across the front. They are not bolts because they do not turn. I want to put stainless bolts in there if I can get these out. Can someone tell me how to get these out the easy way? I don't want to damage anything trying.

Default Front Bolts

They are made of plastic. When I removed mine I just grabed the top of it with a vice grip and pulled straight up. They came right out. The same goes for the "bolts" in the wiper area if you are going to replace those.
