I know this thread is dated, but I just swapped out the stock cerium trim in a short amount of time using the attached Ares pry tool (set available on Amazon). It has a long, solid hooked edge. I was able to stick this in the front of the grill, grip the tabs, and pull them towards the vehicle and forward at the same time to unlatch them (it still takes some muscle). Now with a little space between the trim and the frame, I used the hooked end to pull the rest of the trim out (yes, clips broke, but oh well). Total process took maybe less than five minutes for each side.

My new black trim had the extra guide pieces like in some of the original photos - those were easy to snap off and install from there was a breeze.
