Ive had a bit of a search, but cannot find out how to install my chrome boot garnish (on TF magna)? Im guessing because there is limited info, that it is relatively easy.
Would anybody mind sharing how i should go about doing this? Thanks!

Should be just open boot look for the 2 or 3 bolts undo them take off old garnish put new garnsih on bolt back up close boot.

That's how it is on my TE.

Unless your boot has the carpet panel on it then in that case just pull the plugs off and you have access.

Prepare to cut big holes in your expensive dynotmat

Mine has a nut on each side and the rest (i think 2 or 3) in the centre are clips, but the clips were pretty hard to get off.

yup three bolts on the inside of the boot. one on either end, and one in the middle. i just un screwed mine with my fingers so its not hard. if you really need them i can take a picutre of my old garnish and show you where the screews are?

Yeah mate, I just went out to take the pics and realized my camera's dead =\.
I'll charge it up tonight, and take some pics tomorrow arvo.
I'm dynamatted, but I did a crappy job with just spare bits I had laying around, so I can still show you where they are.

EDIT: Hold on, the battery was just in the wrong way lol Just a sec

Looks something like this..
The bolts all look like the one in the top left pic,
From what I can see, the bolt on either side is located in the area circled on the right pic, it's in the same place on either side.

Then theres one in the middle (the bottom pic).

I know, shocking explanation.. but it might help.

Thanks Sycrat! hmmm..well it looks like i will be cutting into my dynamatt, -but luckily i have around 1m squared left so hopefully i can just patch it up afterwards!
Anyway, thanks for the pics mate! :D Much appreciated!

EDIT: Put the garnish on today! Thanks guys for all the help! I only Cut 3 '4x4cm' holes out of my dynamatt. Should be easy to patch up! Car looks much better now! :D
