What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

John...is there a DIY or a site in the proper removal of bumper & moulding trims? Thanks.

I'm not sure on the removal of the door trim, but the bumper trim is easily done with some non-marring tools or a flat head if you're careful. Just start near the off center gap where the two pieces come together and pry up. After you get it up enough to fit your fingers in you'll be able to pry it off because they only clip in (on an '05 sedan). The trim is pushed into the bumper a little bit nearest the doors if that makes sense. So once you've pryed off the plastic trim just pull out from the side bumper, but be careful so you don't chip the paint. The door pieces should be a little more difficult because they have a special piece that the trim pushes into like the hood emblem (rubber or plastic clip).

^^This is a great pretty good description. Just a side note, you're going to break clips on the door moldings. Go ahead and buy some more before you remove the moldings.

Bumper trim looks easy enough. I did notice from RealOEM that side mouldings are held by unknown number of clamps and grommets. Might just leave the side mouldings alone and tape around the edges so that Black on Black will not spill over the paint job......

If you are not painting the trim and just using the back to black I would not worry too much, its similar to tire dressing. Back to black is good for one or two car washes and needs regular applications.

After work I used my California duster to get the fine layer of dust off. Then I went to the gas station to vacuum the interior. I also dusted my interior and Mr. Clean Magic Erased my steering wheel, shift knob, and center controls. Everything looks literally brand new!

Finished a cooling system overhaul today. It took a little longer than expected because I was working on my own but it all worked out. This was my first DIY on the ZHP. Here's all the stuff that was replaced
