It may be easy or it may be really difficult. The clips on my car dug into the posts on the trim piece and I had to pry really hard. I used a metal gasket scraper. I had to pry until the tabs on the clips bent up so the posts on the trim could come out. I had to replace the broken clips. I cut one tab off each new clip so the trim comes off easy now.

Only had my car for a few weeks, and basically can only drive it on weekends when weather warms up, as I am waiting for backordered all season tires. In the meantime, have kept myself mildy entertained with minor additions:

First up was PPF and stripes:







Then match the key fob to the GT Silver:



And finally a holder for the phone. Will have to see how well this works and whether I like the placement. It blocks the cup holder, but not sure I will get much use out of that in any case, and the phone holder is easy to move if I need the cupholder. This is probably a work in progress...

The past week: Zunsport grills. Dragy. A boat load of detailing supplies. This coming week: New wheel center caps. Window tint. Maybe new exhaust tips.

I installed a Uniden R3 with Blendmount and Mirror Tap. It was a very easy install and looks great. I have a few more items waiting to be installed on the table in the background. I will upload pics once I get to them.

I also bought the R3 for my new GTS. Waiting on the Blendmount until the R7 comes out. Meanwhile, I tried hard-wiring into the mirror and failed. Broke both the power and ground taps right where they insert into the plug. So I returned them for another set and will try again. Hopefully it was just a bad set.

First I need to get the metal bits out of the plug using a magnifying glass, tweezers, and a ton of patience. Then I need to use some electrical tape to keep the wiretap wires from bending near the end so the replacement set doesn't break too. Embarrassing for me since everybody else seems to have had no problem at all with the mirror tap.

A good foam cannon (1/3 the price of this washer....) makes a huge difference. The internal soap tank won't cut it. I can't believe I waited this long to get one after using it!

The SPX3000 works just fine. Get it it's own extension cord and you are set.
