, there's 6x 10mm with phillips heads along the front, 3 of the same down each side, 4 slightly different ones (no phillips, but still 10mm) along the back, and then 3 snaps in a row through the middle. I've learned it by heart now, I think I've taken that thing off like 8 times already. Last time I didn't even jack the car up, I just laid down on the floor by the front bumper, reached under, and did it blind by feel.

Okay fine, it's 19 things that might not get put back right instead of 21. It's still enough of a PITA to make me worry that some service tech might get lazy and not bother with putting them all back right.
