Default Anyone try removing the chrome trim piece on trunk?

There's a big chrome piece that the reverse camera is under and I want to carbon wrap it, has anyone tried taking this piece off? If so, can you share the steps? I dont want to accidentally break any tabs or pieces by forcing it off so looking to see if anyone has done it before--thanks in advance!

Model : 2016 rx350

I didn't try to remove it but I was able to de-chrome with 3m 1080 film last weekend. You don't need to take it off to wrap it. It helps to tuck and stretch the material but not necessary if you take your time.

Usually, it's held on by two or more bolts from the trunk hatch. Try to reveal it by pulling off the felt covers.
