Rear Exhaust Panel Removal

[weingartca]

I was wondering if the rear exhaust panel can be removed without removing the rear side panels? I damaged the panel and would like to remove it to repair or replace. Thanks,
Cliff

Yes. At least according to a post by Evilution few days ago. Sorry, I don't recall the thread. Something about exhaust.

If you're talking about the rear valence, then yes. I did it my self. There are two "plugs" on either side you need to pull apart with a fork, the rest I don't remember but you can easily figure it out when you look at it.

If you're talking about something else, sorry!

Here's the Evilution link: Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia but it appears he recommends removing the side panels first.
