Default vararam intake install question

Hello, I am installing the vararam snake charmer 2 intake and i am at the point where i need to remove the "screws" that hold the shroud in place towards the bottom/front of the shroud. they appear to be some sort of pop clip and as much as i pry they wont pop out. they are definitely not threaded screws. any advice?

Sorry I thought that was your problem. I cut my shroud not replace with a cut one. But I did cut al the way down to the bottom of the shroud removing it all to the cross frame on the bottom removed the screws and pulled up hard and it in clipped

are you talking about the Christmas trees that hold the panel onto the lower fascia? they just pull out, it is a pain because both panels flex. on the passenger side be careful of the ac lines, the air bag sensor, the outside temp sensor and hood light if equipped.
