How do you remove....

the panel between the taillights, Mines starting to rust and I need to get it repainted??

Open up the hatch and look for bolts right behind the panel. remove them and the panel should come right out. there might be some glue holding it in as well, if there is just pull really hard or get a heat gun and melt the glue.

I am almost sure that you have to take the taillights off first before you can do anything else...

If he means the center panel that says "240sx" on it, then you're wrong.

The only thing holding that panel on is a few nuts. 10mm IIRC. After that, you just have to unclip the wires going to the reverse lights.

no no the black panel (or whatever color your car is)
