be very careful. when i pulled mine off i did it early in the morning before the sun started warming everything up. maybe that helped, maybe it didnt but they didnt bust.

Yeah, I have ripped quite a few off as well. The trick is to do it when the plastic is cool.

The secret is to toss the 03+ tails into the trash and get yourself a set of 00-02 tails.


Epicness is coming. Are you ready?

Agreed with Tinkles. I already broke off like 4 of them. requires a soft touch. Seriously considering the pre-'03 trunk swap myself.

I'm removing to tint it to match my outer tails a little better. Ive been set on the trunk swap since i bought the car, but never had the funds. This will have to do for now.

I waited till dark, and they all came off well. (minus the two i has already broken).

Thanks!

Either use a nut driver or a drill with a nut driver end. You want the torque to be applied directly, not radially like with a wrench.
