Removing Chrome Strip W/Sensors To Blackout???

[Bane1021]

What's up ya'll, how do I remove the chrome strip on my rear bumper so I can toss some black vinyl on it.......It's all I got left to do other then paint the brake calipers black before I get the VIPERS ON MONDAY........Any ideas guys?

One more thing I didn't order sensors with my rims, what do I do? Do I use the ones I got on my stocks or just say F it?

nah....i wanna take it off put some vinyl on it, poke the holes out and put it back on......but how do i get it off?

you will need a trim stick...OR....you can reach from behind the bumper and squeeze the tabs and push them out one by one. You can also remove the rear bumper...but you will need the plastic rivets and rivet gun to put them back

Scott you know anything about the tire pressure sensors....i didnt order some with the rims can i reuse the ones off my stock or even none at all?

here you go you can kind of get an idea. It is held on by a series of clips.

i didnt order any on mine, am I gonna have to hear ringing all day or what.......what happens???

[HEMIBeast]

I dont have them on my rims. It doesn't chime either it will flash the tire psi. You'll learn to ignore it..

Well tomorrow I'm probably gonna lay low maybe some drinks but on friday me and some of my boys are gonna hit the raunchiest strip club we can find......most likely in providence.

perfect pic Frankie.

Bane....you can see it is just held on by tension from its own clips. You can just reach up from behind the grill and squeeze them and push out.

I just noticed ur sig pic with the vipers on, looks awesome. Im assuming you already did the tire swap, but when I got my rims on town fair tire was nice enough to remove my tpms from my stock rims and put them in the new rims and even remounted the old tires back on the stock rims for free. The tpms is kinda good to have I guess, twice now the light came on and let me know one of my tires was a little low on air, around 15psi actually, which I prob wouldnt of known since they are low profile and always looked the same and I never really check them which I prob should. Did you paint the calipers yet, I would do red like on mine, I think it draws the eye right to the rims and makes it look like I have expensive aftermarket type calipers on when I just have stock junk. Lol.
