    front bumper reflector removal?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Anyone know how I could tak out the reflectors without harming my bumpers paint ( meaning using no tools that could possibly mess the paint up)? Or is there some easy way i just can't figure out. For those of you who have changed them please enlighten me with your knowledge.

    Either drill right through the middle and break the reflector off without damage (easy way) or use a T30 Torx to take off the four visible torx screws on the wheel liner (visible when you turn the wheel all the way one way and put your hand in and unclip the reflector.

    Then to put in the new one is it as easy as popping it in?

    you can also remove the liner from wheel well and reach in from behind and pop the reflector out. you'll need smallish hands though. those clips are a biatch.
