Default OEM Rear Diffuser ... need suggestions

Just had a birthday, and at my age it got me thinking. I'm beginning to entertain the thought of trading my blaze red coupe in on something easier for me to get in and out of. As I say, I'm only thinking about it. BUT, I do have oem diffusers on it, and I really don't want to give them the car with them on. My question.... is it a pretty straight forward procedure in getting them off. I know that there is tape at the top edge, and 2 push pins on each one. What should I use to back those push pins out, with out damaging either the diffuser or the body. Anybody tackle this and had no problems.

I didn't want to paint mine (yet), so I found some dark red 1/4 inch pin striping on eBay, and did this ..........

You should not have any problem taking them off. A heat gun would help, but just leaving it out in the sun in your case will work....

Luv the pinstriping. Great idea. To bad it's not reflective tape. Now that would really stand out at night and get the guys attention that's behind you!

Push pins, I believe they are screws, that is what came with my mine.

After searching, I believe you are right. They are "screws" that screw into rubber grommets that expand in volume.

Actually if I decide to remove them, I will make them available. It'll take some of the sting out of trading it in. LOL
