Help with removing part of bumper
Does anyone know how to remove this part of the bumper? I thought it was taped on, but apparently not.

You must have figured this out as I see you've installed the carbon upgrades. So What was the answer? Your message saying it was a PITA to remove the bumper didn't have enough info... Wondering if you jack up the front, remove the wheels and the belly cover, if you can get to this piece from underneath the vehicle?
