Removed rear bumper cover... and the bumper bar to which the two bumperette blocks are attached.
Tried to drill it out the 6 rivets yesterday morning. Drill bits I had were insufficient, so I tabled that task until I could visit Harbor Fright. Then, early in the evening when light remained in the sky... I watched some "more" Youtube vids... and saw a guy manage out his rivets absent a drill. I grabbed a hammer and metal punch.
Had those rivets out in 2 whacks each. 2 minutes and 12 whacks.
This morning will reinstall the bumper bar (absent the bump mnetal pieces). Looking for a couple used license plate light housings (or will buy new)/
Yes, I'm doing the bumperette delete.

For car shows. I still have the original cover to use during drives if I want.

Removed the hardtop and put it into storage for the next few months.
Them went in search of power steering leak. Found a hose that has slipped out of its bracket/grommet and chaffed thru leaving a pinhole leak and spraying PS fluid.
Looks like it will be a pain to replace.

Yours, too. I still have a few second thoughts on the color combo mats I bought - blue and natural. They match the car’s paint and interior, but not so much the grey carpet (a rare color in a Savanna interior). But I still like them.

No second thoughts. They're bold and they look sharp.

Work done by Fibrenew, which is a franchise operation. He spent about 2.5 hours on it; total cost $295. Amazing work!! Made it look 1000% better, but not too new or perfect, so it wouldn’t look weird next to the passenger’s seat.

That looks great. One of the reasons I wanted a black interior is because lighter colors show wear so much more. You got outstanding results! Congrats.
