trying to remove the sliver horizontal trim on the front bumper fog light grill (08) TL without taking the bumper off the car ..is this possible..if so is there a DIY ..i searched and couldn't find it

 

You could just break it off...LOL...but seriously, just take the bumper off...its not that hard to do. Search the forum for install instructions for the aspec kit and follow the first few steps...then reverse them. It should only take you an hour or so

 

^ Completely agree... just take the bumper off... it is pretty straight forward... here's a link to the vid..

Removing the front bumper is a breeze. Just lay it on a blank or something so you don't scratch it. When putting it back on, just hang it near the grill and fasten it while it hangs. Easy as pie.

 

From what I've read the inserts should just pull out. I haven't tried yet, but it should just be clips.
