    How do you remove the yellow front fascia protectors that the vehicle is delivered with? I was going to leave them on, but I have read that dirt can get in between them and the paint and scratch it up. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    they very much so will mark your paint. They come off very easy, there are just a couple plastic pop rivets on the bottom holding them on. I just used a flat head screw driver and popped them out.

    Thanks for the info. I wish they made some that didn't damage the paint in different colors. I love the look of them and the protection.

    if you really want to keep them. get the area where they are covered with ppf, then find a way to mount them better so they can't move and vibrate in the wind while driving. You can also paint them any color you want

    Mine did not come with them as the dealer took them off.
    I'm not sure if they are loose enough to attach felt underneath to protect the finish.

    If it was me, I would simply use some tape and a can of plastidip.
    If you have not seen it, it is like a spray on rubber coating.

    Peels off, won't harm the finish, and comes in multiple colors.

    Armor All also makes a similar product called Custom Shield Coating.
