i'm about to fit a supertrapp. it looks like the lower black plastic valence is held on by 3 screws i can see-one at ech end and one in the center. how does the thing come off? are there also snap attachments?

You are correct. There is 1 screw at each end of the lower valance. you need to unscrew those and unclip the entire lower valance (not as easy as it sounds). Be carefule since this is all plastic and it will tear rather than pop out. You will also have to loosen the 2 wheel arch trims a little to get that rear valance off.

If you have any other questions let me know.

thanks vdubdoug.

i don't quite have all the parts yet, so i'll hold off removing it if it's a hassle. i wanted to temporarily remove it to do some scouting for the support brackets.
