    Rear bumper trim removal

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am wanting to take my rear brushed aluminum trim off of my rear bumper to black it out. I think it just snaps in place so should just pull off. I am not sure if it does come off like that. So if anyone can verify how it comes off I would greatly appreciate it.

    I followed this DIY a few weeks ago and worked perfectly.

    Yup, all the closer clips to the bumper snapped for me! I am getting a Carbon Fiber one hopefully soon. I heard of someone who can make them!

    Just exercise lots of patience (yeah, I know it can be hard) and take your time...you'll be fine. I didn't break any tabs...but I also took my time

    Might as well just buy one from a local dealership.. I was quoted $80 for one. Use the $9 towards the paint job lol..
