About to remove my front bumper on my FC any things i need to know or maybe a guide? I searched but i didnt find an actual FAQ. Thakns

 

Put the head lights up. Then remove the entire headlight assembly. The bolts that go to the fender are a real biotch to get while the head lights are in place. When i was young and stupid it took me forever to figure out where all the bolts were. Ah the good ol noob days! Good luck, it isnt that hard and i recall them all being 10mm.

 

thanks for that tip of advice! it really did help me hahaha even though it took me like 3+ hours to figure it out

Theres so many old rusted bolts,i broke atleast 3-5. are they REALLY needed? should i go out and buy a couple new 10mm bolts?

A pic my sister took while me and a friend while removing the bumper. It was such a pain in the ***

 

Alright, so i've gotten pretty tired of my ugly yellow bumper so i asked a good friend of mine to come over. We started at like 12-1 went over to home depot, autozone TWICE and worked in my driveway. We worked for a little over 7 hours, gonna finish everything up tomorrow.

went from this



to this



to this



to this



Primer is still drying, planning on finishing the paint and bolting it back on tomorrow

While working my sister took a pic



found out how to remove my retractor headlight fuse



This one didn't have quite the effect i was looking for.

 

I see a sawzall in the picture, 0 no! Basically if you got the corner fender bolts, the lowest bolt on the fenders and a few across the top bumper then it will be fine. Ive used zipties in crappy situations and that held up no problem. Your bound to snap some bolts on these cars.

Iv'e never seen such a yellow front bumper, no wonder your avatar shows it from the back sides haha. Looks to have come out much better from what i can see.

 

Yea, i was sawing a rusted & stripped screw off. It snapped though(it was so rusted......)

Yeah, idk how it got so yellow but now it looks better. Only paid 30 bucks in paint and sand paper too.

the biggest problem i have now is I FORGOT TO PUT THE STYROFOAM SHOCK ABSORBER BACK IN. ****. how bad is that? Do i have to pull off the entire bumper AGAIN?

 

i doin it right now and no striped/broken bolts, PB blaster can be your best friend.

 

Good luck, I WISH i had a PB blaster........ ANYWAYS.



Heres the finished results.









Now tomorrow all i have to do is finish the sunroof.



Then take off the bumper AGAIN to put the impact absorbers back. Then all i have to do is just clean off my oil sender unit and check my BAC. Then my car will be perfect
