wow, that's a lot of work just to do an oil change. how about just making a larger hatch under the filter and plug area?

The bumper is held on by what like maybe 12 bolts on speednuts and 8 clips on the top maybe? It probably takes all of 3 minutes to remove... Not sure why everyone thinks its such a big deal.

The hole underneath required me to twist my wrist in a 90 degree angle and made the twisting off of the oil filter a little difficult, but I was able to do it.
