I DID IT I had to switch flavors w/my DF but it worked the trick was the gloves so you could pull, plus you think you are going to pull your bumper off for a minute. I used kind of thick DF and used like 6 to 7 layers. The hard part is getting the stupid dental floss to hook around that little corner then it's easy from there... NEXT CHROME GRILL !!!!

Mine didn't take much of a pull at all.? The tabs didn't break either.

Maybe I'll have my black ones Chromed.? Nobody has tried that one yet as far as I know.

I'll be glad to sell you my black ones, realty. You can have them at wholesale plus shipping and handling. Didn't you make me a similar offer on used tires one time?
