    How do I remove and replace the rear chrome letters? Is it a pop in and out tab? Is it adhesive? Screwed in?

    I can't find info on this anywhere. My current is fine but it's a littttttle curved on top, probably from someone drying off the car in the past.

    No, you have to pry the clips of first otherwise you brake the pins of that emblem.

    yes, pop of those black tabs with a plastic tool. You find the clips there...but be careful. Not easy to remove.

    Put a small screwdriver under the upstanding arms and try "gently" to lever the clip of.

    It is also a very good idea to check that no water can leak from the mounting holes to trunk. After installing the text back, put some paper next to the clips and rinse trunk lid with water. I found large rust damages from my trunk floor, on otherwise rustfree car. I'll see if I have some photos once I have access to my computer.

    Here it is BEFORE I straightened it out. Local Ferrari mechanic down the street from me said this is common during car washes... even hand washes

    Here is the trunk lid liner remover.

    You need to disconnect the wire on left corner, and the strut bracket. Good idea to open up the engine lid first. If you open the trunk lid too much, the edge of the engine lid may scratch the trunk lid.

    On the other photo you can see the tab from Ferrari letters. The clip Guido posted attaches to it. You will find two of them.

    I put some paper under the letters to test if the letters did still leak. Had to put a bit sealant to get it waterproof.

    And so do those black plastic tabs on the liner before getting to this phase just pop out with force? I was thinking of using a butter knige or plastic tool to pop them out. i see the holes for them in your pictures as well from where you had removed them.

    Wow! Unbelievable that it could be bent that much, but who takes their Ferrari through an automatic car wash anyway? LOL! If some gorilla did that washing the car by hand, well that's just too much to think about.
    As far as tools to remove the tabs, you need to get a bunch of these, leave the butter knives in the kitchen.
