Black fender trim-DIY
I just got the shipment of the Black fender trim for the side indicators, I find the original chrome-design a little out of place.
http://www.autotecknic.com/product_p/bm-0071-abs.htm Just took some pictures with my mobile so it can be to a little help to others. Its three locks you have to compress with a knife or something similar, one in the front, one on top and one on the underside, then just slide it out in a forward motion. The rest is plug an pray Last edited by Touring; 06-18-2011 at 06:10 AM.. |

I have the same gills and did it myself too. Instead of a knife I used a credit card wrapped with tissue paper to protect the paint job. Quick two minutes job.

Thanks for the diy! I almost broke mines by trying to rip it off! I'll be removing the nasty chrome soon!

If you have a space gray like mine, let me know. I still have some spare vinyl, I can probably mail it to you. PM me if interested. |
