for the rear smaller pieces, you have to remove the rear cargo interior, under the spare tire and on the other side of the car, ubder that little compartment, you will see the nuts that hold them on from the inside, i believe there are 3 on reach side.

the pieces along the side of the car, under the doors, have bolts in similar places, remove the front kick panels, and there should be a black rubber sticker thing covering the hole into the body where the nuts are. Then remove the interior pieces next to the rear seats down low that wrap around the door jam, and you will find the same rubber sticky covering the hole in the body with more nuts behind it.

then there are screws in the wheel wheels and under the car too

be prepared to find rust, it lurks behind the ground fx.

How about the pieces on the doors? Im having an issue with alignment on my passenger side. The way its out of alignment, I cant see anyway to adjust the door piece. Anyway...when I was checking it out, I was curious how the piece came off the door. Im guessing nuts inside the door shell?
