URGENT: Help Installing OEM Nose Mask!!!
I can't figure out how to remove the two hood insulator clips from the underside of the hood in order to install the mask for the hood. These are the clips that need to be removed so the mask can be hooked into the holes.
Anybody have any suggestions how?
Please help ASAP!

I didn't have to remove any clips to get it to work.....of course I might not have installed it correctly, but it fits well and hasn't come off yet! I just hook one clip on the hole near the base of the hood and the other at about a 90 degree angle to the lip of metal where there is a cut-out in the sheet metal.

I can't seem to get the hood into the cutout....I'll try again.
Is there anyone else out there who has successfully removed those two pins?
Also, was the flap that goes into the corner near the headlight a pain in the ass to get on? It's a plastic flap that you slide into a cutout. Doesn't seem like it wants to stay, but maybe when I close my hood it will push it down.

Okay guys, thanks for the help. I was finally able to pry the damn thing open and I have my nose mask on. Looks good to me and I hope it helps for now to keep the bugs and rocks from chipping my bumper while I consider getting the clear bra for the car.

Rips is right...I've seen his silver CLS w/ the clear bra on and you can't tell other than the one line where the clear bra ends. Very nice job...my nose mask will be a temporary solution for now.

If it's a pearl white, you may not have a problem. You just have to put a piece of film on and see the shade it produces. Black cars show every little imperfection, but when you get the film put on right it's undetectable. The 3M film on every other color car goes practically unseen, unless pointed out.
