It's not hard to take the rear fascia off. Here are a couple of documents that might help you.

Please consider taking some pictures during the install and posting about how you did things. This install is on my future as well.

Thanks

I have some buddies who run the GHL's... Very nice!! Although cutting them up trying to make them fit "may" be more easily said than done. That is not to say that it cannot be done. I m running the Corsa Indy Pace Car's w mine ( TS tips).. I just sold my other Corsa Pace Car's to offset cost of new TS system... At any rate, good luck! Post up some pics once complete.

Sorry i didn't take any pictures. However it was very easy. You can reach all bolts from the rear tail light holes and the licence plate bracket come off easy too. 2/10 to do it...have a friend help due to the size of the bumper.

Thanks for the update, glad it went well. What did you do for tail/signal/backup lights?
