Sure sure...give it some time to marinate and I'm sure you will succumb to the influence of the shiny red button!

G2Z- i'd probably use my plastic interior tools to pry up the sides and then my metal tool that looks like this to get at the white clips

Installed my clutch helper spring from Esfourteen, such a great improvement in all ways. I will be writing a review, I was amazed.

Call me weird but I'm not a fan of that CF wrap on the exterior, interior to a certain extent but not on the exterior.

Thanks for the info guys... I think we have one of those. So I WAS doing it right then. I just stopped for fear of snapping something. Do you know if I have to remove the interior trim next to the kick plate in order to remove the kick plate itself?

Yeah I hear ya.... but seeing it in person, esp this new Scotchprint stuff looks awesome. But also, if I get tired of it, the best part is that I just pull it off. It's not permanent like paint

Question: do you have illuminated kick plates? If so, then yes because that's where the wiring is at, if no..then no need to remove anything else. Also, Kenchan is right with respect to the mounting tape being in place, if you don't have the illuminated ones, then the only thing holding them in place is the plastic clips.

Yes, mine are indeed the illuminated ones. I know I have to remove the interior trim panel to get to the wiring, but I was just trying to "pop" up the outer kick plates... but that was the one I was having trouble getting to release. It was flexing pretty good, so I stopped for fear of breaking something

The tape could be the culprit... but man, what a pain in the a$$.
