There may be a screw or two on either end. Look very carefully as it may be hidden. After the screws are removed, the trim pulls streight up. The only problem is you need to be very careful not to bend the trim. Auto body supply stores sell a tool for about $15 or $20 for this very purpose. If you do remove it, just remember to be very careful and take your time.

Painted the back diamond emblem black. Painted the fast key button on the truck black. Painted the calipers black. Adding black key hole plugs. (and if anyone saw it before I added some orange-red lancer gts vinyl, but I have since removed it) I'm really into the whole black on black on black look. I'll post pics tomorrow, by the time I was done it got to dark to get a good pic. Tarmac Black for the win!! :)
