Get under and there is two or three....i forget....bolts....loosen the bolts bezel comes right off

I had to take mine off to install some coated ones. Found it easier to remove the whole rear fascia. If you can get the car up and have enough room under it then yah just remove all the bolts. There's like 4 or 5. A few might be a little tricky.

Or remove the rear portion of the exhaust to get room. The stock exhaust is really big and might get in the way.

There is one screw/bolt head that is inside the bezel from outside

would it be easier to just tape it off?

I painted mine flat black.

I've been thinking about doing this, how did you handle it? I also have the MBRP square tips that I want to make black.

Thanks for all the replies, Ill try to take a look and see if i can remove the screws and paint it flat black

, I thought about taping it off but itll be pain in the ass, and i dont wanna take the risk of ruining my paint or the edges.

Love the way the MBRP tips looks! Was gonna get those till I found these from Unrestricted Motorsports.

Close up to mesh.

Sounds good will do, Love the exhaust tips

There a site sponsor. Hit them up, I know he said they are gonna start making more. Do it in bulk because the ceramic coating cost the most. Try and keep the cost down. They did an amazing job on them.
