How do you remove the metal strip where the bumper and tailgate meet? Or can you even?

It's easy just get something under it and slowly pops out.

Got it, Thanks! For anyone else in the future, there are clips on each end and the rest is held down by double sided tape!

Looking good.. I tested the look on mine this morning.. wrapped it with some satin black vinyl.. I'm still not decided on how it looks. I am thinking it might look better if my plate tub was silver.. then it would help continue the silver/black theme.

yeah, I'm blacking out ALL the chrome on mine (roof rails, exhaust tips, mirror covers, grills, emblems, window trim and anything else I find)

Not to thread jack.. but here are the p-shops I did.. what do you guys think?

Colormatched w/out rear fogs:



Colormatched leaving rear fogs:



I'm still not sure..

I like it better with the stock black surrounding the fogs and plate, but then again, I've always like the look of the A6 hatch.

I could have traded you my black rails for your silver ones

I like the original version, but if I had to choose between the two I'd choose the second one
