I used some needle nose pliers to pinch the clip and then pull the trim off from the outside.

Be gentle when taking the door trim off, it has double sided tape also holding it to the door. It just peels back but make sure not to rip out a clip. The other trim pieces did not have the tape.

This small trim piece on the front fender was easily removed by hand. Just reach inside the fender and pince the clips with your fingers.

This is the last clip on the door trim, at the front of the door. It's different then the other clips. You must open the door partially, pull the trim out then slide it forward off the clip.

This is me holding the trim section up against the clean part of the door where the trim actually goes. Looks like a pretty good paint match to me.
