    Can someone direct me to a resource on how to remove the lower front bumper valence?

    I’m purchasing a matte black one to swap on my white 2020 TRD Sport.

    I can’t seem to find anything. Just videos on how to remove the airdam.

    thank you

    I usually just wing it. Maybe that's my problem.

    There's 2 blue clips/keepers, one on each side. They are a pain to get out then it just snaps out. You have to push the little tab in then slide it out. It's tricky. I used a tiny screwdriver and went in from the top. You only have room for one hand, if you're short I don't know how to do it.

    I stuck a flathead just enough to pry it out for me to grab it, then violently pull and twist in all directions until it comes out.
