From the back you can feel the tabs and to take out push UP on them one by one until each snap out. the hardest will be the one on the very end of the point.
Once those are out just pull out and that is it.
Basically i blacked out the two areas that are flat and kept the shape of the arrow clean to make it look like it is floating. Install back first from the end that goes into the air duct and then to make sure the tabs snapped in. I went to the small hole and felt the tabs and while pushing from the front of the bumper at the same time I push down on each tab until it snapped into place. Not much force used.
Here is a picture of the part so you know where to feel for the tabs.

Hey again, i wanted to wrap the front pieces and tried to follow your steps but i just cant find a way to get to the back of the piece. Can you show me where do you get access to it?

hahahahah. There is a hole just in front of the rubber mini lip on each side of the bottom of the bumper
Thru that hole I put my hand barely fits.
Sorry here is night already and don't have a file picture right now on hand.

I mentioned is a tight spot. Either thru there or half bumper off. I went thru the hole area is flexible rubber and plastic get thru and you will see the rewards of your effort.
