DIY: Front Bumper Removal

^ Yeah, and the first 10 minutes is setting up the beer in the cooler. After that it only takes 1 person and 20 minutes.

If it's taking you guys 20 or 30 minutes, you're doing something wrong.

Here's how the wife and I did it - I'd estimate less than 5 minutes:
She pulled back the fender well and I removed the bolts with a 10MM socket with extension. I crawled under the car and removed the 10MM bolts while she popped the body fasteners on the top. Each grab a side and pull it off.

We're used to fixing stuff on our karts between races so we can work together pretty quick on stuff like this though.

My wife and I take a heckuva lot longer than that to do it - we are basically exhausted when we finish but satisfied nonetheless.
