Front:
Rear:

Use a heat gun to peel them out, then make triple sure you get all the old sticky stuff out before you try to put the new ones in, or they wont sit right.

Anyone know if you can get at the back clips without having to take off the rear diffuser/bumper?

The clips on the back have to be compressed though?
Fake news. They're standard automotive plastic clips. A trim toll under it, microfiber in between the trim tool and the paint, pop those motherfuckers right out.

I jacked car up in Back and undid some of the hear shield bolts and compressed clips. Didn't try the tuck tool trick, may have been a lot easier.

Yup did the same, I tried just the pry tool at first but it sketched me out.
