Default VDP endcap removal question

I put some VDP endcaps on my stock bumper. I've since purchased a new bumper and gotten it installed. I've also put the stock stubby up for sale but I'm only getting a few bites on the endcaps. Being that I don't have it in front of me now, can someone help me out with removal of those caps?

Will then pins come out easily from the bumper? If so, do I just need to get a flat head screwdriver and pop them off? I don't remember the pins being much more than the plastic pins that pushed the old air dam into place.

If not, is there some sort of pin that can be replaced when a new buyer purchases the endcaps?

Thanks, and any help/suggestions/advice is appreciated.

pins most likely will be destroyed but they are readily available at any hardware/napa type store. They are the type that push in easily but then grip and don't want to come out. Just pry them up with a thin screw drier and use a pair of snippers to nip the tops off.

They should be called Christmas Tree pins. I picked up some at the local auto zone for a few dollars.
