    hi guys, I am new to the prius family. I am looking to change the rear valance in my gen 4 prius and is wondering if you guys have any guide on how to do it. Is it as simple as taking out all the retainer clips?

    P/S: can i take out the valance alone or do i have to take off both the rear bumper and the valance?

    Thanks a bunch!!!

    I am guessing that he is referring to the black plastic that is below the painted/colored part of the bumper

    Welcome to Prius Chat G4P. Could you try uploading a smartphone picture of the bits you are interested in removing. I suspect you might mean the body-coloured skirting below the the rear hatch. Or you could look in your handbook and find out what the area is called. The more information you can give us, the easier it is to suggest what to do, OK.
