RE: Bumper Take Off Tutorial!!
bolts in the fender well (will have to take off liner) they hold on the side of the bumper. open up the hood and look for the bolts holding the top of the bumper on and look for the ones underneath the car holding the bottom on. not really a tutorial but not really a hard task either, just look hard and you will find the bolts that need 2 b unscrewed. good luck r u putting in fogs?

idk off the top of my head ive personally never taken one off a mustang. but usually if u take that sheild off that covers the top of the radiator u can see where the bumper is screwed in. most cars have screws on the bottom of the bumper 2

Remove the 2 front mounting brackets.
Remove the 4 main bolts that hold the bumper to the frame, 2 on each side.
Remove about 6-8 nuts where the fender meets the bumper on each side.
Remove one end of the fender support brackets on each side.
Probably 20 bolts/nuts all together.
idk if this helps

I am needing my front bumper either repainted or get a new one. You say u are gettin a GT bumper? What exactly is the difference? I might go with a new GT bumper than gettin mine repainted. Bug guts left on mine from the previous owner ate the paint pretty bad. Where are you gettin the GT cover?

if ur looking for a new bumper bumpers.com has some pretty good deals, i had to replace my back bumper when i got my car, i ended up setting the fuel pump shut off switch off somehow in the process that was a fun project to figure out why changing my bumper would make my car not start lol

I dont think there is difference except the fog light openings. But I found one of ebay for 90 bucks unpainted and it will cost me 100 to paint it so new bumper for 190 which is hell of a deal! I looked on bumpers.com but they're quiet pricey although is a quality material!
