How the heck do you take off the front bowtie, I want to replace it with one I painted myself and could not get it to budge for the life of me. I know there are two clips that I need to pull down and out but it would not move grr.

Down and out? All you have to do is get your hands in behind it and pull towards you. The first time you do it, it feels like you're going to break something but you shouldn't. If you want to be extra careful, start on one side and pull carefully until you feel it give. Then do the other side.

Wrap your fingers behind one side (left or right) of the bowtie and pull away while pushing against the grill with your thumbs. When it unsnaps, do the same thing on the other side.

No problem. If needed, wear thick gloves to pull it off. It should let you pull harder while not cutting your fingers.

How would I go about increasing my cars speed limiter? I don't think my tire install shop did, but then again, I haven't had the chance to go 118mph+. I can call the shop tomorrow, but I just now thought about it.

Your tire shop won't increase it. You need a tune for that. I believe Trifecta raises the speed limiter as long as you've upgraded to Z rated tires.

lscamaro · 04-09-2013, 12:28 AM

The tire shop can't do anything. A tune is the only thing that will be able to do it. So just contact vince
