Naw I took out the rear lip and it had a bunch of plastic screws, I got that one off but I cant take out the front lip, I'm guessing it has hidden screws.

i wouldnt doubt it if its got some rivets on there somewhere. but they all should be plain and obvious.
but your side rocker mouldings you will not be able to get off on your own. (i take apart cars for a living) the clips are all going to break on you guarenteed. i break about 80% of them when i had to take apart one. gm specially designed them for us. there is no trick to it either. so if i was you go run over a curb or something and take out an insurance claim on it and get it repainted that way......... im only jk

Thanx. I figured it out a few days ago. All I did was remove the side screws, and it pops out. They only thing that I noticed after I took off the first one is I had to remove it really slow because most of the plastic screw retainers that hold the skirts can break very easily. I broke off a few but I bought some replacement ones at auto zone.
