How do i get the front bumper cover off?

I'm replacing the nose cone on my 88 SC with an IROC cover and i'm not sure how i can get to the four bolts that attach near the fenders. Any hints on how to do this? Any way besides taking my fenders with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I did this awhile back and don't remember exactly, but i don't remember it being too difficult, You dont need to take the fenders off for sure. I think I did the lower bolts from underneath and the very top bolt from above. If I could look at my car I'm sure I could help you out more, sorry.

Here's a pic with the front of mine off... an air ratchet made it easy to reach up into the fender to get those 4 bolts.

Just take off the black plastic underneath and reach up with a wrench or rachet, it's not hard at all.

you do realize that an '88 sc nose is an iroc nose, or rather is the same part #

You probably need a deep socket, too...

true, 85-87 iroc/z28, and all 88-92 are all the same bumper cover i believe.
