www.evomoto.com has a great write up under the "how to" on there intercooler.

 

Wow awesome. So i am guessings its necessary to remove the front bumper to get these out then.

 

yep

 

Its not as bad as it sounds if you have the right tools and lots of space!

 

Am in the process of blacking mine now. They look better now, deblinged em. Problem was sanding them. You can break the delicate lower peice of the chome insert very easily. Best to sand it lightly.

 

In the guide on how to black out headlights....he used a car lift thing to remove the screws under the bumper, do I actually need to buy one of those to reach those or is it possible to get to it with out it? I do not have my MR yet, but would just like to know ?

 

it's possble to get them out without it.i had some that wouldn't come out so i ripped them out

 

gosh, this aint a fun thing to do... and the best part is that it took me more than two days to get it done... removing the original silicon glue took my toll..... sticky s hell@!

 

One hour to take everything off. One hour to go to the store and buy the supplies. Took another hour to bake and dissasemble. One hour to sand and paint. One hour to reassemble and place back on the car. And the last hour was spent trying to clean up and wash the paint off. Overspray is a b^^^h!
Your rewarded with better loooking headlights. I did not have to jack up the car. The screws are easily taken out and only need a phillips and a 10mm socket for most and a flat head for three things.

 

coo thats good to know, now just gotta wait till I get a car to spend a whole day painting the damn headlights so that I can make it look like the ones we were suppose to get.
