Man I went to the dealer$h1t and realized how many low offers I was getting I was like....NOT! So Im keeping her and the popping noise I hear hopefully wont cost that much. My dad's friend who is the manager of a big shop around here said he is getting a lot of impalas in with the same problem and said he' do it for me for $150! I'm thinking of adding some eye lids and possibly new headlights

There are two screws that are on each side (front and back) respectively. There are 4 clips that will most likely break when you remove them. They are very expensive to replace. So once you break the first 2-3 figure out how not too.
This picture you can see the front screw hole and the clip holes you can kind of see.

SO let's skip the part where I "break" the first 2-3 lol and get right to the part where you tell me how to not break it . I tried to take it off today and wasn't thinking and I took the screws out then realized I had to open the door to take it off lol and I couldn't get it to snap out so I put the screws back in and quit. Help?
