Question tips for removing front (fixed) valance

I have a 2022 lariat hybrid. Has anybody removed the front, fixed valance? So far I've been able to remove the active air dam and the 2 motors that deploy it. But for the front balance I see only 4 screws, but a lot of clips that I'm not sure how to remove. Thanks,

You might have to Dremel it as close to the bumper as possible.

Are you referring to this part? If so, after removing the 4 screws just go from one side to the other with short, careful tugs until it comes out. Probably a dozen or more tabs. Some of them come out easier if you add a little upwards or downwards angle while you pull…

I believe he’s referring to the fixed air dam. Which I thought was called a valance as well

There is a better video that I didn't find, but I did it behind a grillguard and found it to be really easy to do.
