i am looking top paint these black-
but we can figure out how they chrome bezels come off
i know there is one screw one the inside top of bezel
but where are the others and how hard are they to get too?

There many screws on this puppy and they require removing the whole rear piece to access them. PITA...

BlownSS · 11-29-2009, 04:08 PM

i think you hook em up to a tow strap and dump the clutch! I could be wrong?

lmao that will work

Batman0837 · 11-29-2009, 04:30 PM

Each exhaust bezel is held in place by 4 torx bolts. I believe it is correct to remove the rear fascia to remove three of them...

jeffny09 · 11-29-2009, 04:32 PM

great but how do we remove the fascia?

BlownSS · 11-29-2009, 04:44 PM

remove the entire fascia or just the grfx? are the grfx taped on?

jeffny09 · 11-29-2009, 05:00 PM

just the ground fx im pretty sure its some tape and some screws

This is the PDF of the install for the GFX so do it backwards. LOL

jeffny09 · 11-29-2009, 06:20 PM

all that just for 2 bezels? there has to be a differ way to get them off-

jeffny09 · 11-29-2009, 06:21 PM

maybe just take off the whole bumper that might be a bit easier?
hey billyjk7 what u think?

BlownSS · 11-29-2009, 06:30 PM

yeah. Im thinking just take off the whole thing!

jeffny09 · 11-29-2009, 06:32 PM

i think so too-cuz it looks like a pita to just take off the gfx-
but maybe we can lift up the b ack end of the car and see if we could get to the screws-

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 11-29-2009, 06:39 PM

Its not that hard pages 1-6 is to remove the whole bumper.
