Difficult to remove the front bumper?
Sorry guys, I'm having trouble with the search feature so I made a thread about it. Is it difficult to remove? I remember reading somewhere that there are two rivets that need to be removed. Is this true? What keeps the bumper held on upon reinstallation?
Guess this is something I should know before I try crammin an intercooler in the car

RE: Difficult to remove the front bumper?
It's not bad, there are little plastic rivets everywhere though; when you think you've got them all there is still more. Actually I dont remember that may be for the wheel well covers.
Theres like two bolts from underneath then 2 on each side that I remember; those can be sorta a pain to get at but not bad. Getting it back on is more difficult, still not hard though.

RE: Difficult to remove the front bumper?
Removing the front bumper is not hard at all.
Here are the steps for a 99-04:
-remove the headlights
-unplug the foglights
-remove the 2 pushpins that hold the top of the bumper onto the frame.
-remove the 4 push pins that hold the underside of the bumper to the frame.
-remove 2nuts on each side of the bumper where it mounts to the fenders. (this is the hardest part as you have to slide your arm up there and do it all by feel.)
Be very careful taking off the bumper because there are 2 bolts at each fender that stick outand they can slide up your fender when they come out of the holes and ruin your paint and your day.
