Default What do you all use for "Nylon Pry Tool"?

I want to buy the XM system and possibly the sub for my tC. Problem is I read the install guide and lots of the steps require "Nylon Panel Removal Tool". Is there a place where I can buy one of these? Or is there a good alternative? I dont wanna mess up my dash or other panels.
ALso, it says to put some sort of tape on the fender when you remove the bumper? Is this needed and what kind of tape would I use.

Pry tool, you can get at a NAPA.

I used my hands. Check out my walkthrough in the sig. Only tools I had were hands and a couple screwdrivers/sockets.

I've seen a couple people mention that a spatula (one of the soft kinds) can be used in place of the tool for removal of dash pieces and such.

Plastic spatula at your local 99 cent store.

A paint can opener wrapped in blue tape works wonders.

Good for body plugs also.
