Default Need help removing trunk trim

Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows how to go about popping out the brushed aluminum looking piece of trim that runs along the bottom of the trunk (thing the green arrow is pointing at in picture below)? I want to take it out to change up the color a bit, but I'm not sure how to do it. I searched all over the forums and google, and some threads I found said to just wedge a screwdriver under one corner and slowly pry it up, and others said to partially remove the trunk liner to get at some screws that hold it in from behind... Sooo which is it lol?



Thanks!

Sweet, thanks. What's the best way to get to the T25s? Can they be accessed from the underside of the bumper, or would it be easier to pull up the trunk liner carpet and get at them from back there?

If you want to Plastidip the chrome, just slide index cards in the gaps and then spray it on. If you get tired of the look the Plasti-dip will peel off if needed restoring the chrome. I love that stuff. Very durable.

For sure, plastidip is awesome, gonna be doing the window trim up with that soon; but I have something a little different in mind for the trunk piece that requires it to come all the way off
