Ha! There's something I actually know. Mine is a 94 9k CSE, I hope it won't differ much from a CDE. I did have to remove the whole bumper. Just four bolts to undo in the boot and the whole thing drops off (I put a blanket underneath to avoid scratches.) Once off, there are two clips left and right and the strip can be pulled out & replaced. Still amazes me how the car can be transformed when a tiny weathered strip is replaced by a shiny new one.
