How to remove: Black plastic

ZSP.3R · 07-23-2013, 05:54 PM

Quick question guys before I hit the track this evening. Is there a special way to remove this part? After removing ten 10mm screws.. 4 on top, 4 on bottom, 1 on each middle side. The left side seemed to come off easily, but the right side is giving me much difficulties. Am I missing another screw or bolt somewhere?

did you remove everything connecting to it on the bottom? there are plastic splash guards and a bumper structural support piece that screws to the bottom.

are you going to cover it up with something? not sure how it will affect aerodynamics with a gaping hole in your trunk floor...
