Default Taking Front Bumper OFF

im switching my 01 cobra front from my 6 and putting it on my GT tomorrow. im sure its a fairly easy swap considering there are just bolts and blips holding the bumpers in, but does anybody know where each bolt/screw is or can someone give me an idea of how many there are??? or even better, if there is a site with a walk through or something

thanks guys

You have 2 bolt on each side that bolt to fender to metal rivets on thetop. Drill or tap them out. That's all that holds the bumper on except under the headlights the bumper has a lip on it thats sometimes hard to pull out, remove the headlight holder and headlights which makes it easier[/align]

Did you get the screws that hold the innerfender in or did you just rip them out?

Whats the pain about getting the fender bolts out?? Rust, access, both??

I'm hoping to order my CarParts bumper in the next few weeks.
