i just received my TL-S rear lights and side markers and will be installing them this weekend. now, i have seen the thread on where all the clips and screws are on the bumper and i have a general idea on what to do, but from what i saw, there are hooks that the bumper hooks into. how easy is it to remove and reinstall the bumper with these. i have never done something like this before but since i have read it is an easy install, i will be doing this myself. any help is very much appreciated.
thanks

 

It is VERY easy to remove and re-install the bumper. If it makes you feel better you can do one side at a time without removing the whole entire bumper. It takes a bit longer but it saves from removing all of the bottom clips. I did it this way when I installed the tails. I have also had the bumper off when I did the Aspec lip a few weeks ago.

Whichever way you go just take your time ........

 

sometimes the clips can be a pain, but like SteveP66 said, take your time and you'll be fine

(i had more of an issue with the clips on the front bumper than on the back)

 

thanks guys, i cant wait to install these things, nothing like a good old weekend project to keep you occupied
