Default Removing Front Liscense Plate Cover

Is the liscense plat cover pressure fit or are there fasteners? What is the removal procedure? Thanks in advance!

He he, just went through this myself. There are two small screws that can be seen between the bottom of the cover and the bumper. I couldn't see them on mine because the car was in the garage backwards and there wasn't enough light. Once those come out, the top just pops out. :D

What are you going to do with the cover? I am looking for a Torch Red cover so I can take off the ugly license plate.

Seattle,

Unfortunately, I am keeping the cover. I had a Mustang lose an oil line in turn 8 at Willow and he sprayed me with oil from front to back. Just need to do some fastidious cleaning!
