Front Lip removal woes

Hey guys, been feeling kind of dumb with this. I tried doing a search but only found the 1A video and a thread that suggested to just replace the whole front bumper instead.

I'm trying to remove the lip from the old camaro so I can put it on the current one before I get it painted. Both are 86, so there is no difference and should fit right on. The current one has one of those crappy rubber lips and it got scrapped so much by the previous owner it even has a hole on the center.

Now, I removed all 10mm bolts from behind the front lip including the 3 on the sides that are pointed out on the 1A video at 1:20

Is there anything else that needs to be removed? I tried pulling at different angles but nothing. I also noticed some clip like things that might be part of how its connected but not mentioned in the video. If I get a picture I'll point them out.

Thx in advance, this is driving me crazy but I miss the way it looks.

Did you get the two that go up from the bottom on the corners into the urethane?
