it'l take some luck. it has 6 pins that plug into metal clips in the fender holes around the edge. it looks like a one time thing so u may get it unplugged??
if u use those teeny tiny 4 screws that come with some covers,,well good luck!! i think i could pop it off with one finger.

I have detailed full color instructions from when I bought mine from Predator a cpl. of years back (an older version, not the one Predator currently sells) but my scanner kicked the bucket and was 86'd long before that.
Checked with Predator and they don't have a downloadable pdf file w/ install instructions.
If you want, email me your address and I can photocopy my instructions and send them snailmail.

As stated above, yes it's plastic plugs. I'd suggest doing it on a sunny day, face the filler bezel to the sun and let it warm up. Hard cold plastic parts are unforgiving. I lost 4 stems on mine removing it to peel the chrome off of my OEM door. Seal the fasteners as there's no way to really clean back there and it corrodes things in short order. No sun? Try a hair dryer or heat gun if you have one. You don't want it hot, just nice and warm. Be gentle and go a little at a time.
