OK - What is the easiest way to get the d**n push pins out that are holding on the front bumer cover - preferably without ruining them??

JA

If they're like the Gen7's there are two kinds: 1) the ones that have a small notch to insert a screwdriver to lift out the center piece and then remove the whole thing, and 2) the "Christmas tree" kind that simply push in and are hard to remove. There's a special tool to remove those, and if you're gonna do a bunch it might be worth getting it. Otherwise, just lift the edges with a screwdriver and use needle-nose pliers to grab them and lift out. You may still damage them, but that's their nature.
