Removed my insert w very little effort. No problem w any pins. they seem very durable. Just wrap a screwdriver w tape or cloth and start at one end and gently pry up, doesn't take a lot of force but just be sure you don't scratch your hood. Goes back on equally as easy.

 

It really does come off quite easy , grab the edge with your finger nails and pull, it will come.

 

Coming off is easy.... re-installing in very cold temperatures can cause unwanted results.... just ask me.... mine cracked when I put it back on.... it seemed very brittle.... it was about 20 degrees out.... give or take. Maybe I wasn't being patient because it was 1:30 in the morning.... either way it is cracked. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a new one for ~$65-70 or if I want to replace it with a billet insert from Carriage Works.......

 

Figures the OEM product didn't come with a plastic tool to get it off like the AVS comes with. Pop-it off with a screw driver with the end wrapped in tape to protect the grille edge.

Took me 15 mins start to finish to install the hood bug deflector.

 

or u could keep the nice looks of your truck and save the time and not install it. ok ok i just had to share.

lol Wouldn't keeping the nice look of his truck mean no rock chips on the hood? bug shield:tu:

 

I live in Arizona...on a dirt road.....maybe you have not heard, but we have a few rocks out here
