There is two screws, one on the outside, and one hiddin in the inside, you'll see it. The long piece, has the hidden screw. Look for the whole, stick the screw driver through the hole. Let me know if this works.....

I noticed there was a spot for a screw on the new ones, damn it being dark outside.... maybe ill move my moms car outta the garage for a while tonight I was worried taking the first one off, the top of the screw was all rusted and I had that bad feeling that one wrong move would strip the head, but im good 8)

I now need a creative way to get the damn screw out. I went to use one of those things for stripped screws, and with a good amount of pressure and extremely low RPMs out of the drill, the head more or less just fell apart into powder within the first couple of spins. Damn it.

I now have a clear side, and an orange side.

You are lucky man... that everyone here is cool and is helpfull... i remember when i bought my clear corners off this web site Acura-tl.com that the forum was down and would be up in months... anyways... i actually took the whole front bumper off to put them on and when i was putting the bumper back on i notice there was a notch in the air dam to stick a long Cross Shaped Screwdriver in...(The hidden one) But i cleaned the inside of my bumper and fixed the foam thing behind it... i think its a cushion or something... mine was coming off... anyways... like it was said above this post... there are two screws...

Edit: Some WD-40... let it sink in/absorb and in about 10 to 15 minutes go back and try to take it off again...

There's no head left on the screw though, about 1/4 of it crumbled to the touch, and the rest of it shortly thereafter. I gotta take the splash guard off the bottom tomorrow and get a dremel in there and notch it or something, or drill it out, I don't know yet, something more then just a screwdriver for sure though.

Work has defiantely been done, and it pisses me off that it was done really half assed. There was a flat head screw, a philips screw (both rusted), a torx screw (good condition) and the screw in question now (pretty sure it was philips).
