Default Need your guys opinion.

What do you think the cleanest way would be to remove the little plastic bar things in my bumper?

The stuff behind the license plate.

well, if you dont want to have to get the bumper repainted due to cutting off the grill part of the bumper, id suggest taping off the bumper to expose the grill only and to sand down the grill area. then respray it with molding paint, which can be easily had from any pep boys or automotive shop similar to them. it'll hide the grill nicely. hope that helps.

I agree with him...
, but if you really want to do it, try using a dremel and take your time...

When I have the damn time lol. This weekend is Honda fest so I can't do it this weekend and the weekend after I'm going to the shore. I'm thinking the week after the shore I'll install all the fuel management drive it for a few days then start the turbo project on friday to leave a 3 day weekend to do what I need to do :-X
