Removing the bottom ground effects..

On a vert how do you guys remove the 11mm speed nut to take off the ground effect. It seems that my fore arm is a bit to big to reach down there and get a open ended wrench on it.

Thanks!

Look for a rubber plug in the factory bracing inside the car. That is covering the access hole for the zip nut holding the rear of the gfx in place

Wish I wouldn't know that when you painted my car! LOL

Yeha that is for non verts. Go look at the pic's of your car and you'll see that there is a frame rail there. Right next to where the top's frame bolts down to, there is a like 2"x4" hole there to acess that speed nut.. Like I said my forearm is a bit to big to fit down there.

I think that I am just going to drill a 5/8ths hole on ither side just for the ease of removal if I ever need to again.
