Default LTuned Trunk Bar

I'm about to buy a trunk bar too but was wondering if they're stickers or the whole piece? If a whole piece, is it hard to install? the one on LTuned is going for about $100.

Thanks Fellas

very easy to install, just did mine yesterday. took about 15-20 minutes. Just open the trunk lid, and remove the liner, and you will see 4bolts and 2 plastic clips, next to the lock. Just remove all the bolts and then remove the trunk bar and place the new one on!!!!!

That's cool Bea, I just hated removing those clips that hold the trunk liner in place. Someone here in CL in an thread said that there is a tool that can easily remove the those clips. They said that you can find it at any auto parts store.

I use a flathead to take off the clips. You should change out the license plate bulbs while you're at it.

I usually get at them with a flathead too but they are a pain in the ***.

I put a very thin wire inside the opening on the head and pull them out. Maybe you can try dental floss.
