yah remove the bar, but its more of a pita to get the bottom plastic screws off, between the bumper and the suport, so just jump on the bumper till they break off }(

yeah its on right now, there is only one more thing that is on my mind, its on the car now and fits, now where the fender meets at the "L" shaped part did you use n e thing there since the bracket is on the OEM bumper? Its raining now so Im in a break period before I have to make more holes and then take it off to cut the bottom off.

it would be alot easier to remove some of the panels in the trunk. those bolts in the fenders are pita.

yah but the stock bumper is threaded so you cant bolt the blitz from inside the trunk

yes the reinforcement bar, front/back, had to go. i believe the front end ^ is a 97-99 stillen front.

IS that not dangerous? Do you have to remove the reinforcement on all aftermarket bumpers for the eclipse? I remeber when i found this out on my last car, someone told me that you can total your car and seriously injured yourself if you remove it, even if going 5 mph. Are we talking about the same thing or is it different on the eclipse?
