hrmm from what I have done so far... (u've seen it) forget the plastic bumper... just detach the rebar so you have a bare front to mount the JDM bumper mount and attach the zenki bumper =)

i would also take it off from the rebar.. IF you can

there are only 4 bolts which are holding the front bumper
knock those off and you should be done.

Heh I am having fun tonight.

Best way to attack a bumper.

First dress all in black then wait intill about 3:00 AM.

Cut the power to the garage.

Get that flashlight from the kitchen junk drawer.

Quietly now, you dont' want to give yourself away. Slip out to the garage and slowly open the garage door keeping one hand on the door and one on the handle onlly open it far enough for you to slip through.

Great your in now close the door as quietly as you opened it.

Turn on the flashlight holding one hand (left hand if you are right handed) over the beam end so that there is just a dim glow.

Find your crowbar.

Hold it in your right hand (if you are right handed.)

Lie down and crawl around to the back of the car.

SHSHHSSHS quiet.

NOW BEAT THE PISS OUTTA THAT BUMPER >> ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truthfully however, if it was me I'd take the big bolts off and remove it as one piece then I can work on the rest on the bench or a table.

rezzle · 06-10-2003, 12:27 AM

It was this silly Cat thread that got me started.

Trueno_Sprinter · 06-10-2003, 03:40 PM

Lafora · 06-10-2003, 03:55 PM

cosmicbutthairs · 07-03-2003, 06:17 PM

Yo!
I'm in the process of removing my front bumper now to readjust it(it looks like its tilting to one side) I just fucken wasted all my time taking off all the bumper skin (all the 10mm bolts broke off) but now I know its the 17mm. Should of referenced this section *doh* Anyways, how would I get the sides now? I don't understand how they're being held to the car.
