underneath bumperettes is an opening. if you look through the opening, you'll see a torx screw. Just unscrew it and whoaloa!

Order our painted ones first, then we ship the new ones to you, WITH instructions, you send the old ones back. That's the easy way to do it.

Someone should design and manufacture some sort of cap for the holes in the bumper created when you remove the bumperettes. Seems like a valid option to having them painted. Maybe in carbon fiber! (extra 20hp!)

if you remove the bumperettes, you get left with the metal plates that the bumperettes sit on. I'd be curious as to how you can get rid of that as well w/o getting a new bumper.

Remove them with a #6 allen wrench, loosen the bolt, they slide off the bracket.

After bumper cover is removed, grind off the bracket, and then have a full body repair done on the bumper, or add a euro rear bumper cover.

Done.

Or....get our painted bumperettes and save your *** a boatload of headache and cash.

We can paint any custom color as well.

You should get them painted. Or you could waist money on a euro bumper or a cupcar bumper that never had them, but thats sord of stupid.
