Are these steel or aluminum?

They can articulate so I’m thinking aluminum.

I don’t think so. I have a set and they definitely are not plastic. Even the description states they are metal.

Oh some of their products are plastic, others are metal. These were light and somewhat flexible so I assumed plastic.

I’m guessing powder-coated aluminum because they can be bent/articulated.

Our Porsche grilles are aluminum, though we do offer ABS plastic products for the C8 Corvette-

There are only 3 clips, once released and held so they do not reseat, can do that by pulling up on the trim piece from the back and pulling forward slightly to get the clip to rest on top of the nub. Then it is simply tugging towards yourself to release the clip towards the center of the vehicle. Take a look at the video to see the clip positioning and the last clip towards the center of the vehicle.

Thanks. I have all three clips undone. Have playing cards between them to ensure they don’t slide back and click into place and I am pulling with a good bit of force and that center one won’t pop out. I have even reached my boney fingers in behind that center clip and can feel it and push it out towards me a bit. It’s out maybe 1/4 inch but won’t come all the way. Will give it another shot later this weekend if I get a break in between family events.

@Hammbone50 Need just a bit more force and it will come out, that clip is in on an angle that makes install a little more difficult as well. Just give it a good firm tug, constant tension once it starts moving.
