Does anyone remember how illuminated kick plates attach?

Dude, he should be charging a whole lot more than $50...

dmhenderson · 02-28-2013, 11:20 AM

I agree.

I'm just saying that in that WTB thread, I thought I saw someone say that they'd pay $50, lol
So maybe he'd be back in for $50?

Just trying to make it clear I didn't lowball the guy. I asked him to name his price.

Work like that is easily worth a $100 or more.

I'll give it another shot this evening and see if I can get one of my old kick plates popped off.

It wasn't that hard popping the old plastic ones off.

Thats what Im saying, so how are you having trouble? Especially if you've done it before.

dmhenderson · 02-28-2013, 03:47 PM

Well the last set i detached were the plastic ones. I have never detached the illuminated type before. I'm probably just being overly careful.

eastwest2300 · 02-28-2013, 04:00 PM

Dude, they're the same underneath.. do what you did last time. They pop right off, you just gotta get your fingers slid underneath them. Hell look at your new set, and see where the connection points are and focus on those areas, im pretty sure theres only 2 connecting points.

dmhenderson · 02-28-2013, 04:24 PM

I didn't spend a huge amount of time on it. I'll give it another shot.

eastwest2300 · 02-28-2013, 05:21 PM

dont fvck it up...lol

I came into this thread not knowing what you had done with the kickplates. What did you have done?

dmhenderson · 04-10-2013, 02:23 PM

I installed a set before. This is resolved. I got the new ones on. Old ones were dented and I wanted to swap them out for a new set with red LEDs instead of orange.

I need to do the same with the one on the passengers side. Was tithe double stick tape that was making it hard to get off?
I found a used one online to replace my dented one.
