Changing the rear license plate frame ?
Its been a long time since I have messed with my rear license plate frame. I was thinking about replacing the factory black plastic frame with something different. Is there any trick to removing the black plastic frame ? If I remember right its somehow snapped down. Seems like I just pulled one end up and slid the tag in. I just don't want to break the thing trying to get it off. Thanks !

Actually, if you are talking about the thin plastic frame that would surround your license plate, there are two prongs on the left/right sides of the frame that hook into the license plate housing. Take a very thin flat blade screwdriver, gently use it to push the tab in towards the center and gently lift the plate surround up. Best to do this one prong at a time and be very careful not to push too hard or the prongs will break off.
