Easy. My fog light rings popped off from the front. For the rear spoiler, remove the carpet from the trunk lid and the spoiler is held on by 4 screws.

Somewhere in the DIY section someone did a walkthrough.

I saw the DIY for the rear spoiler removal. How did you pull of the rings? Just squeezed the left and right and they popped right off? Was reading around and most people talk about removing the bumper...

IDK about rings-only... I've seem a few comments like this, how you can "pop" them off from the front. I'm kind of curious how easy that is. The only thing I've done is remove the entire fog assembly, and for that you need to come at it from behind. At some point in the next few years, I'm going to have to re-wrap the amber window tint on the fog lenses. There are a few little tears here and there, which is actually somewhat gratifying, because they would likely be chips or cracks in the lenses otherwise.

However, you don't need to remove the bumper for that process either, just come at it through the wheel-well panel.

I just put the stillen spoiler on my black obsidian - I'll post pics in a few. Just the painted chrome piece alone, thought, looks almost as good!!

Yeah I just searched for the thread about that. Their argument kind of makes sense though. What program did you use to make yours?

A 17 year old copy of PaintShop Pro 5.0. Honest to God.

Shame this site doesn't allow larger sig photos, but it is what it is, so I'm playing by the rules. If you want me to help you come up with something, PM me some details and I'll see what I can do. The tiny resolution somewhat limits things, however.

Plus a bonus shot of the front since we've been talking about blacked out headlights

Wow - first time using the IB app and it's about as restrictive on pic size as the sig rules

I'll upload them elsewhere!
