Take your finger and get it under the plastic piece and just start yanking slowly. Each portion of the hatch will come off with a slight snap from the connectors. The plastic piece also connects into the side panel but it can be slipped it easily. (Youll know what I am talking about once you take it off)

The whole plastic part comes off really easy. A simple method is put your fist in there and then turn your fist so it pushes on the plastic and comes off with ease.

Yep, flashes rapidly 6 times and then goes solid. The Nismo doesn't have the lower fog, so this was my only choice.

For whatever reason, my 2011 did not have the weight/dampener at all. I have never had to apply much force to close it. Gravity takes care of everything from about 4-5 inches height
