Here are some pictures of the tool for removing the trim tabs. I also included pictures of one being taken off. Does anyone have a cheap source for the trim tabs, I'm missing one and would like to purchase some spares.

I need two now. I'm willing to purchase them if someone has a source with a decent price.

GAH!

I got a ton of these white and black push in/spacer tabs. They look almost the same, but aren't. My bad... I was hoping I could help you out.

I saw the simple trim tools, but opted for these since I did the grille and GFX which necessitated removing both the front, back and rockers. (from Advance Auto Parts)

Had no problem getting the Fascia off using your video.
I did not need to watch part 2...

However, I did forget to put the locking clips on the new Grill ...
(metal tabs with teeth that go on bottom plastic tabs of grill)

Thanks for the video, gave me the confidence to attempt on my own !!!

I watched and followed a different guide to removing the front bumper on YouTube that failed to mention the two 7mm bolts by the side markers at all. Needless to say, the bumper didn't want to come off very easy. I figured the guides on the bumper may have just needed a little muscle and the bumper would come right off. I rewatched the video a few times to doublecheck my work and ended up breaking 1 of the small plastic rings around that bolt before realizing I was following a diy guide for how to break your bumper. Wish I would have used this one instead!
