you probably going to need to cut it off. Feel around to where the bumper and fender meet in the fender well. Take a power saw and go to town. have fun :o

no the fiberglass is cured so you have to cut it with either a commericial dremmel or a sawzaw will work too but you neet a steady hand.

One of the reasons I would never mold the ground effects together. It sounds like it would be a bad day if you were to get hit and you basically had to cut away your whatever got it....plus you would have to cut EXACTLY the same place it got molded or else you would be in serious trouble when molding a new piece on

yeah if you try to use a heat gun you most likely would also burn the bumper, and when fiberglass burns it has toxic fumes. Try and get some pics up so we can see how deep a hole your in

those are all pics of your front. the front doesn't look likes it's molded on. and should really never be either. but they should be able to fix that no problem.....
