I bought my CF reflectors and I think I remember someone on the forums saying that they were very easy to install but never stated how how put them in. I tried but I cant seem to get the stock reflectors off. Please help.

PS.

If anyone also can give pointers on how to blackout my tailights using the Niteshades spray tint. I know to point and spray but any other pointers will be greatly appreciated so I can make them come out looking good.

 

Does anyone read the sticky in the how to forum? Moving to show and shine.

 

Installing the CF reflectors is not easy.. you have to take off or at least loosen the bolts in the front bumper and the left headlight I think.. My boyfriend did it for me and it was a *****.. then you have to stick your hand up in there and try to loosen the bolts or try to get a screw driver in there and unscrew them.. haha good luck!

 

installing the reflectors is easy all you need to do for the driver side is unscrew the plastics screws in the wheel well. Then reach in and unscrew the two screws in the back of the reflector. The passenger side is a little harder. You ned to unscrew the plastic piece in your wheel so you can get your hand in it the same way you did on the other side. Then you need to take out the first bolt in the passenger the bumper. Pull the bumper down and away from the fender so you have a little room to work around the windshield washer bottle. Unscrew the screws in the back of the reflector. Stick the cf reflector in its spot and screw it back together. The easiest way i found to put the screws back in on the passenger side was to take a philips head screw bit and put it in a socket. Just pm me if you have any questions and ill try and help

 

they are a ***** but black030z's way sounds easier than mine. I took out the wheel well liner and the washer fluid tank.

 

i Thought about removing the windshield wash tank but its alot easier to just pull the bumper away. It also helps alot if you can get somebody else to hold the bumper or find somebody with small hands to reach in and take out the screws and put the new ones in. Another thing that helps alot is if you put the screws into the new reflectors and remove them a few times so that they thread easier.

 

Did you get the reflectors in yet?

 

i took the whole damn bumper off lol

 

lol well i guess that would be another way to do it
