To install the sidemarkers you need to basically remove the entire bumper. It's a time consuming process.

The finisher is the dark carbon fiber 'look' piece underneath the grill. That took two minutes to install; goes on with double sided tape. The pics are pretty dark so it's hard to see I guess.

I've read several times that you need to remove the bumper to replace the side markers. All you need to remove is the front half fender liner which involves the wheel, 6 screws and 4 clips. I remove the one on the LH side all the time to inspect my CAI filter, and the side marker is right there, with plenty of room around it.

Am I missing something?

Assumig the US ones are the same it's the RH side that's the pain. There's a fluid container (rad overflow?) down there that's in the way. It can still be done. All you need is one of those L or Z shaped screwdrivers. Still not easy but ca be done.

______________ _____________

______________ _____________

"GOOD" double face tape will not come off, 3M makes some crazy strong stuff. I know they use that stuff for the side emblems and rear wings I believe, no doubt they also use it for the air damn finisher.

it is not the stuff you find in the grocery store

Yea Joe, ironically enough, I didn't realize how rude that sounded till I sent the reply also. I gotta apologize too. In fact, I'm gonna edit it. But anyway, what's the part about Bucks County all about? I don't get it?

well I don't have jack stands so that might be the big difference here. Did it with the car on the ground. I would think without taking off the bumper to get to the one on the passenger side it would be tricky though because of the washer fluid reservoir. I dunno I couldn't do it without taking the whole F'n bumper off lol. I'm no master mechanic by any stretch.

The finisher is on there REALLY good I know because I first put half of it on a little too far to one side an had to forcibly pull it off...it was a biatch. That 3m tape is strong.

I got the finisher and sidemarkers here:
