yesterday i was all pumped up cuz i was gonna do my black housings

..i knew it was gonna be a bitch to take the front bumper off since i never did it before. i spent about 2 hours trying to take that thing off but it just didn't want to lift off

i followed the DIY instructions but the little bastard just didn't want to come off, so i just bolted the bumper back on and left it.. ..i was thinking that it was a sign not to do it cuz it would look bad but i dont care i just want them done

so now i got spray cans sitting in my car waiting to go on but i can't do it cuz that damn bumper what do you guys think?

..oh and im ready for all the & smilies, so bring them on...

 

:noob:

lol..just kidding..

When you take out the 4 bolts is it loose at all?

 

you can't take off the bumper? the only thing you need to really take off are the 4 bolts in the center area, one on each side. then take off the lame tiny fender ones and you're good to go

but... blackhousing on a primrose? IMO doens't go well, unless you have a CF hood or something, just my two cents

 

ummmm, isnt there clips under the headlights, on the bumper?

 

thats what i thought i was getting caught on....but how do u get to those without taking the lights off?

ahah. just messin man. i would probably have the same problem if i tried it. after you get all the bolts off, try pulling it a little to see if other bolts are still screwed in. dont pull to hard though.

 

After you take out the 4 bolts does the bumper at least feel loose wwhen you left up on it?

 

dude just lift up! it wond break. you kinda have to wiggle it.... MAN UP!

 

yes, i know im a wussy but better safe than sorry

 

woahh damn. three posts at 9:43. scary.

 

it was pretty damn loose, so i lifted up but it just didn't want to budge

 

 

When i did mine i had a problem with the right side. So i just went to the left side and started with one side at a time. You have to pull up and out and the same time. Just try one side at a time..>There are like 2 plugs on the bottom under the car. Make sure you take those out.

 

i was pulling up and out, my buddy was like "dont break your bumper idiot.."

i must have done something wrong...but all the bolts and shit were out

 

I dunno. If its real loose, it should just pop off...(your not gonna break your bumper.)
Make sure its not catching on your headlights causing you not being able to lift it up all the way

 

This is what it looks like with the bumper off.

 

You see the black brackets on each side right under the headlight openings. Those have 1 stud a piece that stick out with a head on it...I just kept liftin mine up and down kind of fast till it came out..(temper took over)

 

i'll try that 2morrow and hope for the best, so just keep lifting and wiggling...

so when it comes of all those little clips pop off?

 

No, the ones under your car you have to physically pop off. You use a smaller flathead screwdriver and pry the button out and the plug comes out

 

yeah, they hold the splash guards together

 

took me and my TL buddy 2 1/2 days to get my bumper off finally.. u take out your corner lenses there are 2 bolts on each side.. thats what we missed.. and yes those clips pop off i didnt even put em back :/

 

H2o i want your rims so so so badly. IF you EVER sell them pm me ill buy them on the spot.

 

2 1/2 days, LMAO!........what the hell is wrong with you guys, it was a 15min project when I followed directions off our site my first time. The second time I did it without the instructions and wil admit the fucking thing would not come off. So I kicked it really hard twice and it came off finally. Just broke two clips but I dont give a shit. It still kinda hangs low, lol.

 

Btw, if you are certain you have all the bolts off, just apply a lot of pressure on the bumper and the side clips should come off properly. That was the issue I was having, but nothing like a fucking kick can't solve.

 

after we figured it out, took us 15 to get it off and on was funny

oh and not 2 1/2 full days, like 2 hrs one day and an hour the next lol

 

It's not lift and pull folks. After you got all the bolts, screws, and the bumper lights off, you have to push down on the bumper, kind of hit it downward your hand, then pull the sides out (the wheel well part of the bumper on each side) and the bumper should come off. Putting it back on though is a BITCH!

 

 

 

thats hilarious.....

 

damn, its sad to know theres someone THAT ugly in the world

 

he should kill himself right now.

 

yea strap that kid on your bumper

 

This is gods way of telling u that ur headlights look fine.. DONT DO IT!!

 

thats what i was thinking...

 

from ur lil avatar.. ur car looks sweet already

 

so.. how do u take the bumper off again?

2 1/2 years on this site.. and i still dont know how to take the bumper off.. haha..

 

2 1/2 years and you still cant read 3 posts above yours??
