The Secret Ingredient
yeaaaaaaaaapp... black housing is complete... looks awesome... damn my car is sexy. One down side... getting out the headlights was a pain in the ass. I stuck that car jack inside bumper and radiator support and cranked it up to get out the head lights, and wow did that make it easy.
BUT... now wen i close my hood the gap between the front grill and bumper is about 1/2 inch bigger !! :yack:
now iam tryin to figure how to push it back up i got some clamps " Pulling " the 2 parts together i'll see how it turns out. PIctures in a few hours

my friend jacked up the front of his car where he wasnts suppose to, had a gap between the hood as well. What you need to do is hammer the lower part of the radiator support. till its even. Thats what we did and its fixed.

Ask us when you need help bro. We're always here. You could've wrecked the radiator support.

the bumper cover did come off... the headlight housing was free and everything. It was just the bumper that wouldnt come off. For some reason mine was welded and bolted on. Colt said soem tabs should bend but mine didnt

Yup theres 6 bolts holding the bumper on. Once you get those off you have to slide it up and out.
