Rayson just do it

It is not that hard. One item that I had to call my buddy in the Benz paint shop (he loves cuban cigars) was the aluminum grill on the fresh air intake. You know the one on the cowl...he said first open hood then take an awl and "poke" the center of each trim keeper dead center...push that part in it looks like a rivet, well because it is a plastic rivet of German sorts, and then take your small pocket knife or thin bladed screw driver wiggle in behind each one (there are three on driver and three on passenger side) Then just pry them off. Then you take your favorite trim removal tool (mine is a bondo applicator or two and a couple of thin bladed spackle knifes). Work the windshield bottom chrome trim up from the cowl, only a little... quarter inch or less then you can wiggle the grill out from under hood/cowl. My aluminum grill under that painted grill is getting a good high polish waiting for car to get out of the paint booth. Good luck on your 380 Rayson any trim questions on 107 feel free to contact me. The Dealer told me that I will be putting chrome back on in two weeks unless there is a hail storm! I can't wait
