I am using an iPad and have had no issues...that would be really bad for business if they were pushing malware out to there customers...would you be willing to test it again since you know how to clean them off?
itwould be nice to know if it was CL or Megazip website.
if not, I understand...

did you go to Megazip.net or Megazip.com?

i just did a google search with the following, “Megazip.net Trojan” and there were no hits showing this website has Trojans...

Did you not order part #64716-24080-B0? It's the Rear cover that I believe fits over the bracket (51938-24010) that you bolt in.

i did not, I am going to trim it to make it all work...everything will be hidden and I saw no need to order this part again.

I went back on the Megazip.net web page and ordered those 2 parts that I listed in my post with no Trojan issues? I don't know where they came from as that was the only site I was on this morning other than my regular sites? Again thanks for the tip Everything ordered now except the tire and rim itself.

I am going to use the installation instructions that appear in one of your pictures in your post #1. Question how are the various clips which holds the back plate? Do they just pop out with a dash tool? What is the best way to get them out? I assume they just push back in?

Bgw70 nice tool but do they just pull straight out? I know where there is a Blue car just like yours only a 06 I think with very low miles. Can you use a dash tool and get under them and just pry out?

my 07 uses the same plugs...all the same.
the HF tool works the best
pull and push!

Do they just pull straight back or unscrew out?

Going by the Harbor freight store in the morning on the way to my annual Silver Stallion Examination (Bladder Cancer exam) do you now what they call that tool? Any hints on what to ask for?

Are you going to reuse the back cover and just cut a hole in it to slip over the bracket given that the hole will be covered by the tire? Is that what your plan is?

that is exactly what I will do...and a few more mods.
drill holes for the four rubber bumpers and trim the bottom for the tire...will post a pic when I am finished with the cuts.
using a Drimmel tool.

Great that is the direction I will go as well. Look forward to seeing where to drill those hose. Went by HF and picked up those pull/push pillars $8.75 out the door. Thanks for the tip. Waiting to hear from Megazip on shipping the other part.

HF is awesome for some inexpensive tools, especially when they are rarely used.
i Megazip updated my request because a couple of the part numbers were updated for the cover and bolts. Both were cheaper and they refunded the difference but didn’t include the discount...whatever...it’s cheaper.
