    I know there are clips behind the strip to hook them on, but it's disconnected in the middle, it seems like I have to take the whole thing off to get it back on.

    Even leaving the car even for 30 minutes? Hahah.... I'm always worried about that. I took off the caps for my stock 14" bbs because I'm paranoid.

    I have Mtech springs so mine's sitting lower already.. going from 14">16" wheels will give it a different look for sure.

      If you are talking about the euro bumpers there are 4 bolts holding it on, both front and back on mine....

      16" will make a major change in the car!:)

              Looks good, be careful when you pop them out....they are plastic:)
              Where did you get the wheels?

                        LOVE 16s but whoa.. how do you get 8.5s under the front fenders????? I can't get anything more than a 7" wide wheel up front on a stock car. 8.5" in rear with a high offset = no problem.

                            pic is of rear wheel of staggered set.....front is pictured earlier in thread...
                            ...front & rear centers look cosmetically the same, but are completely different.

                              there's plenty of room on the inside of the wheel in back - 2" or more clearance to the side of a stock tire... so a high offset wheel works great back there, no fender rolling..

                              definitely not the case up front. I'm running 15x7 stock euroweaves with less than 1/4" clearance to the shock tower!
