I'm not sure what it's called, the plastic thing right next to the hood and the wipers holding the wipers on.

I would like to know how to take it off, how many screws? And prep for painting it.

Thanks guys

Could do color matched or even shave it to make it a smooth setup. Make sure you use adhesive promoter with whatever you decide.

You can try duplicolor. But they just come off with a couple screws and plastic tabs.

Yes on wet sanding but its going to take forever. I vote color match it for now till you decided you want the smoothed look.

I plan on doing this soon, when it gets warmer. But I really need to get my paint from the dealership.

All the places around me are kinda sketchy. I'll ask Eddie to see how much his parents will charge to do that, my mirrors and grill oval.
