Well, I have a FRC, coupe/vert may or may not be similar. The drivers side has a cut out inside the trunk. Just pull out the cover and you can get your hand inside to remove the 2 nuts with a small ratchet. The passenger side has no cut out :confused: , so you will have to pull the rear wheel, remove most of the bolts holding the wheel well liner and reach from there. If you happen to be changing out the exhaust at the same time, you can reach up from the bottom I think.

I just remove the outermost tail light on each side to change the bulbs. This may give you enough room to also change the lenses.

Yep, that's what I did. Just remove the outside tail lights, and you can reach in to get to the nuts holding the side markers in place.

I wish I thought of that when I did mine :bb
