Just did the silver to shadowline grille swap last weekend. Also replaced the back badges to black too. Has anyone replaced the silver chrome bar on the back of the trunk yet to black? If so, any advice?

Install process is the same as the 2019-2022. Takes just a few minutes:
And the black shadowline grills are on Euroactive's ebay page I saw: https://ebay.us/lOZl2d

This thread is for the iconic glow grill swap so that’s not correct. Thanks for highjacking without actually reading it.

I will receive the black grill next week, and follow the procedure to replace.

Thanks both instruction, I completed the replacement.
1) tape for the painted area, otherwise the paint will be scratched because you need use force to remove the rivets
2)removing rivets is the most difficult, and I broke 1 rivet
