This is good to know. Since I will be doing this in the spring, I haven't even really given this a serious shot. I was worried about the two near the exhaust tips but it doesn't sound like an issue.

Again, I wouldn't have anyone who is not familiar with my car or at least has access to both the workshop and parts manual from trying to disassemble my car.

This is so true. Heed the warning. There are some "tricks" to removing some of the parts, and to "break" stuff off is the last thing that is done with these cars.
