Take that chrome piece off your trunk. I finally figured out how to do it today. I realized your not taking off the chrome strip, your taking off the entire black plastic piece that the chrome is attached too. Pry and wiggle from left to right with a flat head first. Once its loose, grab a hold of the middle of it all, and just yank lol. I broke some plastic tabs but i aint never putting the part back on again so i dont care. lol

aiight guys small update I recently purchased a set of weathertech visor and I loved them

and also next was to color matched my door handles I gota say from a scale from 0-10 (0 real easy) I would say its a 8 even though Ive taken alot before from different cars, reason why I painted them was cause I couldn't stand them I know some people say it's hard to paint over chrome but with the right prep u'll be good to go

1) I took the door handles out then sand them with 80 grit making my way all the way to 320

2) I then applied 2 medium coats of Wurth self etching primer for a strong adhesion to all metals and other surfaces

3) then I applied 2 nice coats of 2k primer to cover most of my sand scratches then sanded them before aplying paint

I would charge about 350 for quality paint service so anything above 400 is to much imo

I thought about it but I think I can live with them and also I know for a fact they will be a lot harder to be remove then the door handles but once I have some free time I'll look into it
