Noob Questions "how to' remove FD's exterior/interior stuff
1. How do I remove the rear bumper bar?
2. How do I remove the rear tail lights? (including the centre brake lights)
3. How do I remove the rear passenger seats? (for Jap spec FD)
4. How do I remove boot area plastic bits?
I'm having difficultes removing the above. What I've done is that I've opened the plastic bits surrounding the tail lights by taking out the screws (including the center one) and I've also taken out some bolts holding the centre brake light that it became 'wobbly'.
But my effort stopped there because I couldnt find anymore bolts to open :| The centre brake light couldnt be taken out because it seems that the two edges are attached by the L/R tail lights. Sounds stupid really but I've checked the surroundings and couldn't find any more bolts/screws. I went under the car but couldn't see any other screws.I also went searching but most of the info around are only about removing the front bumper bar (www.fd3s.net).
Same thing for the rear seats...Seems like the seat is attached by one bolt on the bottom that seems to so hard to reach.
Anyone can help a noob plsss?
Thanks

On the tail lights - with the screws out, grab the light and push sideways. If you're standing behind the car and you have the left light, push to the left and it will slide out. Right taillight, push right.
With the lights out, everything else should be much easier
. Not sure on the back seats, though.
