Anyone know how to remove the entire bezel on the sport hood to install a new one with black badging?

from what I've read, you just need to pry it off with plastic trim removal tool. You can't save it. the retaining clips will break off.
Apparently, that part of the hood is double walled and the clips are between the inner and outer layers.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a thread where everyone agreed on a final answer but I would like to remove that as well, and also the two small fin looking grills. You thinking about color matching the whole piece?

I bought a new one with black badges. Just want to take this one off and install the new one.

I did the same, but I felt it was easier to just swap the badges instead of the whole panel.

Does anyone know where I can find the replacement plastic clips after taking the hood bezel off? The dealership doesn’t show where they are serviced separately and the PPF installer just busted a bunch of them when they did my hood.

I replaced mine with black ones. I don't recall it having plastic clips. Mine were metal and part of the badge.

And I just tossed my stock ones last month when I was cleaning the garage. 😔

Advance Auto Parts has this clips. My son and I work on a lot of cars for crazy money. Just find the Dorman molding retainer clips.
