I just put my hood on and noticed there are holes to put in the rubber weather stripping from the stock hood along the front edge. How do you get those black clip things out? thanks

Just keep pulling on them, and hope they don't break. When they do break, go to the dealership and buy a new rubber strip (it comes with the clips in it).
Unless you can see a way to get behind them to compress the little "arms".

 

you need one of those clip removing tools..looks like a weeding tool. Car audio shops use them all the time...
