Removing Front Bumper Inserts

I have a 2001 Coupe and I am wanting to remove the black plastic inserts around the fog lights to give them the DiNoc treatment.

Has anyone ever removed these and reinstalled them? Any tips to make it easier?

Short of taking off the front fascia, it will be interesting to see what others have to say about an easy way to remove the inserts.

Okay then...... Looking to see pics of your plan when completed.

And by the way, that housing has 3 10mm bolt holding it in place.

Having removed them myself, take the 5 screws holding the bumper to the underside middle. Pull down and you can reach the screws that way. Also remove the access panels in front of the tires to gain access to the screws as well. The turn signal wiring harness will be attached to the plastic pieces. Enjoy.
