^Third brake light and front corner markers! The freaking front corners are a bastard to get out...me and a friend messed with them to do them at the same time but they just wont wiggle out the front and seem to be unable to get over a plastic lip when trying to remove them from the back....found all three little bolts...just cant get em out...any tips would be helpful.

O...and have been on the phone deciding on either the slp stripes, manta, or 35th anv without the checkers....and also if I want white or black stripes....possibly even silver. If I go with the manta itl be black for sure.

Should finish up with some red caliper paint and call it done!

i've only taken the blinkers out when the bumper cover was off the car, and it was a piece of cake.

Take out your headlights and the front turn signals will come out a lot easier...then you can go ahead and do the whistler mod while they're out.

K I think maybe I am an idiot!!! I have tried 3 days in a row for about an hour to get those little corner markers out of the front bumper! I just keep getting frustrated and freezing cold so I call it quits! Not to mention the freaking hood shocks went out the other day so I have to have faith in a yardstick haha. Has anybody removed these lights without taking out the headlights or removing the bumper? Thanks guys!

looks good with the black fillins... imo since your wheels are chrome it kinda sets it off a little, not in a good way. I probably would have gone with VHT instead, but its not my car so do as you please!
