Default Exhaust bezel

Does anyone know how this damned thing comes off. Removed two bolts but there are five clips holding it in place. No access to top clip that I can find. And I did use search, only the same question and no answers. Thanks

I think this is what you're asking about:

Thanks but that’s the whole facia. I’m trying to remove the exhaust surround and replace it with CF one. Maybe it just pulls off with lots of pressure but I was hoping for more info.

Once you remove the screws, depress the clips and pull... Here’s vid showing the location of the clips that might help.

Edit: There are also clips on the top that the vid doesn’t show. This pic will show their placement:

Actually, removing the bezel is a lot easier. I’ve dropped the bumper when installing a cat-back system. While it was not difficult, it’s still a lot more involved than removing two screws and prying off a bezel. Be careful not to break the vent clips...
