Any tricks for popping the panel out of the clip without damaging the clip? I got the front fascia off by popping the inner fender panel out of one clip and then just gently bending it to get at the screw that holds the front fascia. Is that how you guys do it?

I'm not sure I'm following correctly anymore, so many meanings for some of the words above. For the little "pop in grommets", I use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to pop up the center first and then they pull out easy.
And yes, for removing the front bumper, I also remove one "pop in grommet" from the wheel well (close to the front outer edge), then gently pull wheel well liner out until I can bend it to reach the screw at the top corner of the bumper.
I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to here: "Any tricks for popping the panel out of the clip without damaging the clip?"
