Default 2013 GS front spoiler replacement

I was quite excited today to replace my beat-up front air dam with a new one. I readily removed the side pieces and unbolted the center piece. However, now I am stymied. I cannot see how to remove the center section slotted ends from some kind of "pin" holding them in. There doesn't seem to be enough room to maneuver the slots around this pin and I don't understand how to remove the actual pins themselves. They don't look like screws nor bolts. Can anyone help? Thank you!!

Those are push pins, they pry out. I was able to reuse mine when I replaced the center section. I have a tool made for removing push pins, it looks like a screw drive with a forked end instead that is slightly bent. I've used regular flat blade screw drivers in the past.
