#18047, "How hard is it to take off the front bumper??"


          

I just bought some projectors and was wondering if anyone has a write up on how to take off the front bumper (i did do a search and couldnt find anything). I think I read something about this a while ago and there was two different ways people had done this and one was easier than the other. TIA

Go to Cyans site

geocities.com/blue2gnt or something like that.

Its not hard, I dont think you have to take off your bumper to change headlights either, but whatever emoji

I think there is 1 bolt on the bottom where you will have to take the bumper off. But I can take my bumper off in like maby 15 minutes at most, once you do it the 1st time, it will be 10x easier the 2nd and 3rd, hehe...

It's a pain taking the bumper off because of all the extra clips they use. When you reinstall, you usually don't put any extras, just about 9 bolts total, so it will be much easier to take off. I only use one bolt on each fender side, and the 5 in the middle by the hood latch. Some people just use zip ties instead of bolts in the fender well so they can just cut it off each time it has to be taken off.
