There's no need for pics. Just follow what I typed out - trust me, it's simpler than you'd think.

That's the point of this thread, no real purpose, just off topic and random chat. The other regions have it and it's good. Don't delete it I want it to get as long as possible! I would also get the proper door popping tool. So you won't break any clips, and it's only a few bucks.

We get new members from time to time and I want them to be able to join in, at least at the start of each month so they can catch up a little. If we let the thread get longer, it's just a waste of space.

Also, you break the plastic clips more times when you put them back in than when you pop them out. Popping them out is simple and requires no tool, as it'll just come out on its own with light force. Putting them back in is a bit trickier since you can't see if it's lined up properly before pushing them in place, which is when you break them. I've taken off the panels more times than necessary and that was what I found out.

I've seen multiple threads like this. If you're going to delete it, you should be deleting all of it then. Other region have threads that are OT like this, just the metroplex chat, that are well over 200+ pages.

Most do get deleted. A lot of the times, the OP decides to close it and start a new one also. However, in some areas, there isn't a regional mod, so that could be why. Why are you so defensive over a thread? With that mentality, maybe we should combine all meet up threads (dynos, track days, meets, etc) into 1 giant thread and never start a new one.

Have fun doing that. I wouldn't want to do it or even put the panels back. Half of my panels are out from installing nitrous and I've been too lazy to put everything back in.

I only knew you under this username. I thought you changed it.

And you never will..

Just start with a flathead screw driver or anything flat at the top (closer to the third light) and outside (away from glass) of the panel. Once you get enough lift on the panels from the hatch, just move your hand across the entire lining of the panel and they will pop out on its own. Just pull on it if it doesn't come out; nothing will break.

Putting it back together is slightly tricky, but all you have to do is line it up and bang the panel into the hatch and it'll seat itself (you're bound to break 1 or 2 of the plastic things that hold the panel, though). I don't have a rattle, even though I've broke 2. If and when you break more than 1, just relocate the unbroken ones strategically to even the spacing between them.

The weight is only like 2.5lbs or something - very light. You're supposed to take that out when you install a spoiler (excluding the stock spoiler). Also, do the penny method while you're at it.

What it should resemble after you take off the panel and the dead weight.
awesome, thanks chris. my evo r blitz spoiler is less than 2.5 pounds so i think removing the weight will fix my issue. i just ordered some r888's for track day. i tried going wot in 3rd gear today and i couldnt make it to 4500rpm before rear end would just fly sideways. i hope the r888's help.

are you going to be running juice at the strip?

No problem. Let me know how that goes.

And of course I'll be spraying. When are your tires getting in?

Probably because I like this thread, don't mean to be all defensive. But dyno days, meets, have nothing to do with the Lounge. Those are events, this isn't.

Fine, keep the thread. I won't delete. Your attachment to this thread > forum duties.
