A question about rear bumper trim,91. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Z51JEFF · 11-21-2023

I had a minor encounter with my garage wall and now need to pull off the 2 right rear pieces of trim due to minor scuffs. This is the side trim above the side marker light and the piece that wraps around the bumper. Can I get these 2 pieces off without removing the bumper?

If they bolt up like they do on a 90, it should be possible. Not a fun job as some of the nuts are a pain to reach up and get to, but possible nonetheless.

I'm thinking if I pull out the taillights I might be able to get to the nuts.

You should be able to get your rear one out no problem through the lights but you will be working blind, that side one might be the harder one, you could take off the wheel well and gain some more access to the side molding. I think the 90 uses 10mm nuts on the moldings with a metal clip in some areas, Cant remember on the 91 and up its been a while.
