This little sanding stone melted through those plastic rivets in seconds and the light came out clean. Just a suggestion. 😎 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |

Use a Stanley knife to cute the shelf trim centrally along a straight line from the rear to the front of the car. SO much easier to fit or remove then and just pull out and push back under the panels.. If the join at the cut bothers you, cover the shelf with black felt.
I have cut my dash-mat too. They always shrink and holes e.g. over the vents near the doors become misaligned. Now it is easy to slide the mat back over the holes from time to time. The centre cut will gap about 30mm eventually so cover with e.g. a strip of felt about 45mm wide.

I just got this out on my 2016 BRZ. At first I thought it was superglued to the entire deck but it’s just a little sticky on the foam pads and around the white pop clip holders. A panel removal tool like the one the OP used really helps. I used it to push one clip out from underneath the deck. I can confirm that it is possible to remove this without removing the C-pillar panels. You just pull the entire deck towards you and up. It might make it a little easier to remove those panels first but not absolutely necessary. After pulling the deck out I see so many areas for potential rattles that I plan to fix with some felt or speaker gasket foam tape, especially where the brake light meets the glass.

FRS/BRZ/86 Front Grill Mods with Raptor
Has anyone ever installed the 3 yellow bulb Raptor style lights with their FRS/BRZ/ 86 front grill? Starting to wonder if this would look cool.. I've seen a few examples with the 4Runner mods: http://kustom54lighting.com/Morimoto...ts-_p_334.html

Dang. A lot of this was drastically overstated here lol.
You don't need to pull all of the panels to get the trim out. It's actually the four clips in the front and if you lay down and carefully look through some of the trunk holes, you can see the white clips and where they're located on the trim. Pop the light up, pop the trim up, everything comes out super easy. The center of the plastic welds work like center punches so a half inch drill bit makes super light work of those. And then putting it back, just make sure the white clips are lined up and straight. Again, you can lay on your back and look through some of the holes to see where the clip is and guide them in that way. The way this thread was written, I thought this would be a bit of an ordeal. In and out of the car in 20 minutes including the isopropyl wipe down and drilling.
