Black Out

I picked up a few silver pieces from the forum and sprayed them satin black.

First was the rear which is easy to take off with just screws and one plastic push holder.  The three silver parts were then very easy to take off.  Once the black parts were installed, the ladder caused a problem when placing the entire bumper in.  The door had to be partially open to get the bumper to slide in underneath.

Then the front was swapped to black.  You do not need to take the front bumper off.  Basically just take off 5 screws holding the plastic splash cover directly behind the bumper.  You can then squeeze an arm in there and pop off the white tabs holding the wings. Then just put on the black wings and make sure that all the tabs slide into the slots. The first was easy but the second wing didn't want to go in properly.  I finally was able to align all the tabs after three time of trying. The middle valence is easy to take off.  The bling skid plate does not need to be removed. You can place your arm through the large holes and get to the screws holding the valance.  For the top two screws you must take off the mesh. To do this, just locate the three plastic push holders between the radiator and the lights.  Once this is done, you can push in the plastic grate above the valence and have access to the top screws.  Unfortunately you will need a 10 mm flat wrench which I did not have with me that can be used to slide between the metal bumper and the screw. Once loosened it can be unscrewed by hand.  This will be done soon.

Finally got to the front valence.
