You gotta remove the plastic panel from the back, then you will see the 10mm nuts. And yes for a body shop to charge you 135-145 to paint it is ridiculous. I had mine done for 35 i think, its been almost 2 years since that but im pretty sure thats what i paid.

 

[SilvaSpyda]

...the panel wont come off either...that thing is a f#@%@n pain in the a$$. How do you take it off????

 

[GSXTCY]

Remove the cover over the spare tire. You will be able to reach under the plastic and pull it up! The top of the center panel is held in by the clips that hold the a pillar on. They can be a biatch. You will get it with patience! About the center light. I only paid $50.00 and most of that was to purchase a pint of paint! I have extra silver if anyone wants it done let me know.

 

[SilvaSpyda]

....aite i just got done breakin one of my clips......now im havin trouble wit the top part of the panel, is it also held by clips????

Is it illegal to paint that middle piece on the tail lights since it IS a reflector?

 

[ImportModder]

I doubt most cops will even know that the paint isn't factory.

 

[HyperGSX]

Yeah, i doubt that they'll notice something small like that.

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

it is not really a reflector. Go behind your car at night and shine a flashlight on it. So no it would not be illegal.

As a matter of fact mine is in the shop now being done.

 

[InnerCircleVP]

I didn't it all myself as well. No problems with peeling or anything. Its not as glossy as the rest of the car, but thats the problem with black. Once again if you want a truely professional job, take it to a professional. But if your bored one afternoon and want to try something different, go for it. I mean its only like $3 for the paint then if it does look bad, take it to a paint job, doesn't hurt to try.

 

[Hektic]

Just wondering if using the VHT Nightshades will be illegal. I hear that the lights still show through as if there is no tint, just making sure. Don't wanna do it and have to replace if they're illegal

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

I just got mine back from the shop. I think I payed a little too much since he already had the paint for the bumber. But, he did tallk the letters off and did the red piece out of the center assy. Tell me what you think.
