I just did mine and took me all but 5 min to remove all 4 bezels, I didn't even had to stick my hand behind the taillights I just inserted a plastic trim removal tool between the tailight lense and the bezel and slowly pry them out.

BTW... steel wheels?

you couldn't afford the extra $1100 ($15-20 per month) for a 1LT?

this is 2010, not 1969. the LS should be non-existent.

Just say that you do not like the look, that would have said enough! But now you are just trying to be a smartass. I hope you were trolling, otherwise just try to relax and accept other peoples choices. I personnaly do not like your red color and the automatic. But that's just me and i'm sure you love your car.
Try to keep it a little more friendly there are way to much frustrated people around here!!

Do you have any more pictures from further away? I'm dying to see the black on a SIM from further back. I actually should clarify, I'm dying to see a black bezels on a SIM without the area between the tail lights blacked out as well.

The thing that worked best for me was to let my 15 year old son do it... no scratches and it only took him 15 minutes to remove all of them... Kids... just want to punch them in the face...

I agree it really was a pain in the ass when i took them out too black out the tail lights. it took 25 mins one the first one then like 5 mins less each time i did another one.. i broke one clip and chipped an edge on one of them but besides that it worked out pretty well.. i think im just going to buy new ones and paint them.
