CT4 V blackwing tail light removal

[Raymond Underwood]

I have a 2024 CT4 Blackwing and would like to remove my tail lights to have a local body shop paint them. I’m not sure how to do it. Any advice?

It's my understanding that the bumper has to be removed.

I sent you the service manual instructions. Yes, the bumper cover needs to come off.

I thought that was only on the CT5 Blackwing?

Here is step 1 from the service manual for the CT4:

Likely to get access to these two bolts in step 17. Also, you are supposed to replace the three retainers shown in step 20. That's after you remove trunk trim side gutter, rear trunk trim, and trunk side trim.

Why are you having them painted ? Are you doing a spray tint ? They make a wrap tint (multiple shades) that can be applied by a professional installer, without all the labor of removing a bumper. And it can easily be removed after you get the ticket.

Yes, I am doing a paint tent and several professionals recommended that but I tried the tent and it looks like CRAP. You can purchase new ones that are darker for 800 bucks. I’m getting it done for $300. My car has been debagged. It’s Raven black and that is the look I’m going for.
