The CT had a little accident yesterday.

It looks like I have to remove the cover to work on the grill -- this is a 2015. Anyone remove the number cover?

I'm going to have to replace the upper grill (horizontal bars that hold the "L"). I may be able to glue the tabs back on the upper chrome trim .. the actual trim is fine .. some of the attachment tabs came off. It's $150.00 bucks.

The only other problem I see is the passenger side bumper cover attachment -- the one that bolts to the fender edge at the wheel surround. Looks like that snapped off. I'm not replacing the whole cover for that ... have to figure something out.

The cover has two tiny scratch marks --- the factory painted covers hold up better.

 

Your front bumper is different from pre-2014 only cosmetically. There is a removal guide (on the ct200hforums.com) that you can find and follow.

 

Thanks -- I joined and tried to find it. Can you give me some guidance.

 

Sure. The guide was actually on these boards. But those boards have some decent DIY guides for future ref. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ct-...2-install.html

 

Thanks -- I ordered the parts .. and will give it a try this weekend.
