Ok, I removed the three bolts from each side removed.

I removed the top 7 screws as well.

What else am I missing here.....

Uh I can't remember off the top of my head it sounds like you got them all. I remember I pulled my headlights out with the bumper so check to make sure nothing is holding the headlights in still.

Crawl under the car & look up. The lower part of the nose has screws too.

You might wanna put those fender nuts back on (at least one per side) to keep the nose from leaning forward, until you get everything else loose.

I could swear the screws under there held the skirt onto the bumper, not the bumper onto the front of the car... but I could also swear their were brackets somewhere down there cause I remember cutting them out.

yup,

Got the cips that attach the front chin spoiler to the fenders near the wheel well..

Maybe I'm just going

Is there a manual with directions, or possibly a schematic that shows which bolts/screws need to be removed?

sid rs91 · 09-21-2009, 12:28 PM

lol........i couldn't find one when i was taking mine apart.
i'll go and take a look at mine in abit and see if it jog's my memory...

sid rs91 · 09-21-2009, 12:44 PM

when i did mine i left the light housings on the bumper.
so 3 bolts on both fenders
unclip chin spoiler from fenders
3 bolts on inside of light pockets both sides
2 bolts in center of bumper by hood latch

think thats it may be one or two on the bottom of light pockets?
man i must be getting old......just put the car back together 2months ago after paint

I got the top three out and just noticed the 4th......

I'll have to figure out a way to reach those things......

i use the smallest socket wrench, with a long 10m socket, takes a little longer but works

I should probably invest in a long 10mm socket, I've been using my wrench since I don't have one that will clear the screws....
