Exclamation Need help removing hi-sport front lip....

Ok, I got the rivets off and the bolts out, now it seems it is only connected by tabs or something in the slots in the bumper cover? Are these just tabs pushed into the slots or are their bolts or something on back? Can I just pull these tabs out of the bumper slots? They seem in there pretty good. Help!!!

It is a bit of push and pull at the same time with needle nose pliers.
have to apply the right pressure as you pull to bend plastic tab loop over and pull on clip.

I guess I need to quit linking back to a specific page off that site.
Seems any time I try to link directly to a page, it fails....
