How hard is it to remove the front bumper cover?
 
I want to get started on a little project, but it's currently snowing (yes, fucking snowing...) so I want to know if I can get it off quickly enough in the freezing cold. How hard is it?

Remove the signal lenses, push the units through the bumper. The bumper itself is held on by 2 14mm head bolts that are accessed from the underside of the cover. There are 4 10mm head bolts for the lower valance and 1 for the grill. That should be all of them. Then slide the bumper and cover off of the bumper shocks, take assembly inside where it's warm.

It's sunny and 66 here today.

Depends on how many times you rub it before you try to take it off.




Last one took me 15 minutes. But I dont remember what you have to do to get it off. IIRC a philips and then pop some clips.

I need to know this too. Thanks for pre-asking. It's 73 here today and sunny. I drove to lunch with the windows down and the sunroof off. :) I'll shut up now.
