Do you mean the outside trim that is kind of the extension of the bumper? If so, lay down in the driveway and look up at the trim. There are nuts up there attached to carriage bolts. So all you need do is remove the nuts. I think the nuts are 10mm. Then the trim "unhooks" off the car if you lift the piece toward the sky. Hope this helps. Best, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA

Before I start ripping things apart out of ignorance, how is the damn thing attached and how do I get it off for painting and then replace? |
