We wanted to remove the rear windshield wiper for a couple of reasons.

1: We never use it, and

2: It looks so much better with a shaved rear

We began by removing the inside hatch plastic cover by removing the two screws that are inside the handle used to close the hatch.

Once they are out, grab the plastic cover and pull it down. It's held in place by several clips. Disconnect the plug to the light.

Next you can remove the bolt that holds on the rear wiper. Remove the wiper by pulling it straight off. It might be rusted on and need some force. Mine came right off.

Inside the hatch, disconnect the plug that powers the wiper motor. Then remove the three bolts that hold the motor in place. Then pull out the entire assembly.

Remove the rubber grommet and your hole will be ready.

We went to the local hardware store and bought a 1" plastic plug. We really need a 1 1/4 inch but they didn't have any. We'll continue to look but for now this 1" will just barely fit.

Clean the plug with some laquer thinner, prep it with plastic primer, and give it the paint, followed by the clearcoat. Pop it in the hole and you should have a cleaner look.

My eyebrows were ordered on May 1st 2009 and they came on May 16th. I found the vendor from custommagnums.com and placed an order. I bought them off eBay.

I also have the Mopar touch up paint. The cheapest place I could find the 5oz areosol can was- yes- the dealership. Everywhere online was expensive. I got two cans from the dealer for the price of 1 with shipping from most online vendors.

The eyebrows came with 2 way tape on the backside. I did a few coats with the Cool Vanilla, then a few coats of Mopar clear. I decided to also order a can of Mopar clear because I heard stores about the color changing with clear from a different vendor. I just decided to keep it all the same.

One picture has a rubber peice. This is pushing the headlight out because it sits in too far (from the factory) and the eyebrow had a smaller gap between the eyebrow itself and the hood/fender. Pushing the headlight bucket out a bit made it more of a gap, evening out the two headlights.

I finally did it and removed the moulding. I have been back and forth on this for a while. I've seen a lot of mags on CustomMagnums.com and everyone was really happy with the look after they did it. If anything, it can always be put back on, so no real loss if I don't like how it looks.

Today was a warm day. 25ºC or 80 something F. Here is a before picture with the moulding.

First things first was getting the hair dryer out for some added warmth.

Carefully pull. Go SLOW, you don't want the paint to bubble underneath.

I found some moulding had MUD underneath it. I did wash my car prior, but still...Now I'm glad I took it off.

Use a good quality adhesive remover. I used Oops untill I ran out, then went and bought some of this Goo Gone. I liked the Oops better. Also, instead of using a fingernail to help remove some of the adhesive (but you will still have to for some of the smaller bits) I used a plastic spreader to help peel the left over two way tape from the paint. Once it was all off and clean, I finished up with some Simple Green to clean.

Once it was all cleaned off, a good couple of coats of my favorite wax was laid down on all the doors. And thats about all.

We ordered a new grill for the mag. It was in a pretty small box, and we was expecting a larger package. The grill came in as four peices with mounting hardware.

I started by removing the black radiator cover. It just pops out as it's held in with three clips on each side.

The front fascia has 6 push pins on the top. Use a upholstery tool to pop them up. If you don't have one, use a screwdriver and some needle nose pliers to pull them out. Save the two middle push pins untill the very last, you'll need them up to prevent the fascia from potentially falling off after everything is out.

There are some fender clips on each side- three with a push pin at the bottom. Do whatever you need to get them out intact- all of mine got destroyed so I'll be getting some new ones. (After I get my fog lights) Note the awesome 20" Hankook tires and painted calipers!

Once they are out, there's a 10mm bolt that holds the fascia to the fender. Remove it.

Underneath the car there are 10 belly pan screws. Remove them with a 7mm socket.

Now the good part. Tug on each corner of the fascia and it will pop off. This is why we left two push pins in place up top. This picture was taken after I removed them. I also have a rag under the corner. You might want to use a couple of old towels or blanket to set the fascia on so it doesn't get scratched.

I took the fascia to the grass where it wouldn't get scratched. There's some screws on the bottom that need to come off.

I put in the new peices. Small problem however- these grill peices didn't exactly mesh perfect with my fascia. I had to rig them in.What do you expect for $23 including shipping?

Here is is with the peices in. Some say I'm too young to drive- screw them.

*UPDATE*

The top grill was installed in May 2009. In October 2009, we ordered the lower grill peices. They arrived and we installed them the same way the top peices were. The facia was removed and the two lower peices installed.

While we had it all apart, we painted the backing peice of the Ram logo on the front.
