Can someone in Phoenix help me switch from chrome to matte black. I can't get these f-ers out for the life of me. Read every tutorial, watched youtube video... no-can-do...

Thanks.

think of it as one big jigsaw puzzle. the pieces come apart and go together as such.

Easiest thing to do (since I'm lazy, ha!) is just let your car sit out in the Sun (or in a hot garage during the daytime) for an hour. Then follow the YouTube instructions. Since it has been out in the Sun, the plastic will soften up so much it'll be easy to remove. And yes, that's what I did.
