I'm am trying to hurry up and remove the front bumper so I can get my headlamps out to get them painted for the projector retrofit.My question: How do you remove the 3 middle screw type holders on the top of the bottom? I have already trashed the middle one but still haven't been able to get it out and would like to know that porper way for the others at least.

Well, I decided to use the way the I know best, destruction. I tore up the screw rivots just buy some new ones at autozone.

I'm kinda late on this one, but got to matrixowners.com and there is a how to for it on the big how to list on their home page.

And good on ya for getting your projectors in...I still haven't put mine in, it's too damn cold here.

I'm fighting the headlamps right now. Keith was right, they are the biggest pain in the a$$!!! I know he's a pro at it now, but wow the first time is hell!!!

haha cool can't wait to see how it comes out. i never have the balls to tackle this task myself lol i guess i'm lazy or just don't want to screw up anything. but yeah when i removed my bumper i messed up quite a few of those screws...gotta get new ones from dealer later lol

I ended up tearing them all out. I was going to use the first one as a reference to determine how they work, but after I got it out of there, it was in no shape to learn from. I'm thinking about just getting the normal rivots to put in there. I don't see what the difference would be. Just finished separating the last headlamp and taking them to get painted right now!!! Totally excited.
