Thanks... no problem. Once you work on it the first time, it's not that bad at all. I'd recommend spraying some soapy water to the pop rivets before prying them.

Thanks for posting. I will be removing front bumper to replace busted reservoir tank due to puncture on fascia while hitting and evading, slalom style at 70 mph, several pieces of furniture on the freeway, L.A. freeways suck!!! I always find debris on the freeways; I even witnessed a driver hit a mattress and go airborne nearly hitting other drivers, it was at night but nevertheless... WTF??? no joke, glad I wasn't on that lane

I just pulled my Stillen Gen 3 long tube intakes off as I'm selling my car. All of that brought me back to this wonderful thread. The intake is 3 years old, dusty, has some dings and scratches, could use two new filters. It's going to sit in a box in my garage indefinitely. If you're interested in it, shoot me a price and pay the shipping and you can have it.

Do you recommend having a second person there to help with bumper removal or is it pretty easy to hold and handle/pull off without scraping anything? I don't expect it to be heavy, but large things can be awkward to hold and result in drops/ground scraping. Did everyone here pull it off easily by themselves?

I did it myself and it was really easy, its not heavy at all.
One tip is I would place a towel or cardboard under where the bumper is so you can rest it when positioning it, otherwise you might scrape it when laying it on the ground.

ok.. theres no such thing as a stupid question, i know its common sense, but i have to ask this. everyone is saying its simple to take off, and maybe you guys are car experts or have done work with cars. i know not much about cars, so if taking it off is simple, how about a video, and for putting it back on

OK so I took mine off for the first time and the one thing I screwed up is something I saw others post questions about so after I broke one clip I figured it out and took a couple pics to help other noobs like me.

Do not pry under the outer part of clip or you will break something PIC #2 - CORRECT! Get screwdriver under the button looking part. PIC #3 - Then twist. Now the clip comes out easily and more importantly UNBROKEN. |
