ummm....lift the hood, there should be 4 bolts that attach the trim piece...take them off. then in the centre there is like a plastic peg in the middle...you have to squeeze it and push the whole piece out. its been a long long time since ive done this so i hope thats correct.

yeah, dont snap it off...just take your time, even get some else to hold the piece off the car while you ease the clip out!

if you dont already have a new one why snap this one off? its not like its that difficult....just needs some patients. unless you really have money to blow....and you're really impatient.
