I tried to get this piece off of my 2011 last night but I'm afraid to pull too hard as everything seems to move with it. Is there a trick to getting the chrome piece off or do I just need to pull harder? Next question is what is underneath it? I don't like the chrome strip and figured I'd dip it but if there's no big holes under it I may just leave it off. Thanks in advance for your help!

Its does have those tabs and they can be a pain to pull on. Try to pinch the tabs into #7



#8 in chrome version. 51117250789

#8 in black which would lok better if you are going for the dechromed look.

Thanks

Thanks! I got it off, I'd like to order the black one from you but with the shipping costs to Canada it's quite expensive so I'll have to look at a different option!

I can't help myself; I like chrome. Will this chrome finisher strip fit my 2010 justa? Does it just snap in?

Well, that's certainly reasonably priced for a complete lower grill. How hard is it to replace?
