On the pre 02 cars, the bumperettes were black rubber, and they were easy to remove. On the 02 and above cars, the bumperettes are covered by a hard plastic shell that snaps on with various tabs. Anybody have any tips on how to pop these out without tearing up the bumper or the hard shells? Thanks!
Hey TD, as far as i know these have to come off from behind....maybe removal of the bumper..
The newer version has tabs around the entire hard shell cap. If you press on the tabs slightly as you pull, it comes right off. Underneath the clamshell is another unit that is welded to the bumper assembly through the bumper cover. We paint these hard shells all the time (when damaged).
