the only logical way to remove them would be through the fenders.


OP was right; I'd be scared to take a screwdriver to my paint!

Google is definately a good way to search the site. The 3G Service Department is also a good way to find useful info.

Thanks Will.

Looks good. I am switching to the USR ones also due to one of my custom fronts finally dying on me. I can pop mine out in a few seconds since my fender liner is not even screwed in lol
