You can also pick it up at Amazon

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$$.
