I was backing up and the gravel suddenly dipped and BAM right into the sidewalk. my stock tip is smashed. So how do i take it off? I've noticed that a (dare I say) Honda has a screw that looks pretty nasty, but would make it easier to take off.

 

I believe ours are the grab-and-pull type of removal.
take a look at it and see. it's not too hard to figure out.

 

Had the same thing happen to my tips, I just took some tin cutters and cut off the ends and screwed on my roommates acura TL tips that were in the garage good luck
