So, it is a bit harder.

The proper way to do it is by removing the whole bumper. That way you can undo the clips properly without breaking any.

It is not hard to remove it, just time consuming.
Thanks! I was finally to get it after spending all morning messing with it.

What ended up working for me was to use a long flathead and starting with the bottom clip, applying more pressure pushing the clip OUT (towards the front of the car) while applying about half of that pressure inwards (towards the center of the car). I wrapped the tip of the screwdriver in a microfiber so it a little more gentle. This was the only way that I was able to get the clips out. I did the same for the top rear clip and then the top two were last.

I appreciate the prompt response and I'm glad I didn't have to resort to taking the bumper off!
