Porsche insists on using these type clips on the bumper vents and I have not found a way to remove them without destroying them.

What are these clips called? Are they porsche specific? Automotive specific? Or are they generic and available elsewhere?

they look just like the one's on the turbo grills except there's only 1 of those per side.
I put a screw driver into each side L/R and turn. I've reused mine multiple times.
