im planning on getting the boot handle painted black (just got the hood scoop done the other day).. i was wondering if someone has instructions on how to remove the plastic handle. Is this easy to do ?

~thanks

It's VERY easy to remove. There are only four small torx screws that hold it on. Simply undo the screws and pry it genly off the boot. Note that there's a foam seal stuck on the back of the handle (to keep out the water). It should come off just fine, but if it gets torn up a bit, you can always buy a replacement one. Once you have the handle off, simply unplug the connector for the license plate lights and the boot release button and that's it.

I hope this helps some...
