Just pop it off, if you already have the GFX removed it should have some pegs on the back that you can push out.

no you see to get the ground effect off i need to take out the bolts that hold on to the ground effect off first. I have been told there is 2 bolts under the iroc sym. ,that i need to get to and i've heard that there are clips and i heard that there are no clips.

Just pry it out carefully and you will have to use some adhesive when you reinstall it, I don't remember if there are any bolts behind the emblem?

90% chance it will break the pegs off. You will have to glue it back in later on.

I was able to carefully pry mine out without breaking it, it was glued in with some sort of adhesive. There are 2 screws behind it that hold the gfx tight to the fender.

WTF
Commas, periods, and proper sentence format will help me figure out what you are trying to convey. I have read over your post 10 times and I am dumb founded by your post, please restate the question?
