just thought Id bump this old thread as I pulled my surrounf off this morning before work with a PLASTIC SPATULLA Once I got the top corner out it was just a few quick pulls and it was off. The side ones actually slid upwards and off. Here are a few pics and what lays beneath the surround...

Popping the side top and then pull. The clips origionally snap in but also can be slid out of place to reduce risk of breaking



heres a pic of a clip, basic spring clip, looks to be sonic welded to the plastic



A blurry shot of the clips that are on the car, you can see how the above clips would snap/slide in/out of them.

Hope this will help someone someday
