swaping my cobra bumper on today to see how it fits before she goes to paint...and i was just wondering how to take the two retainers off that hold the bumper on from the top (they are right by the headlights)....im going to try and post pics if i can get the camera working. but its odd i cant figure out how they are conected :dunno:

problem solved...i drilled em out lol. but anyhow... NEW problem...got all the screws and clips that hold the cover in place the cover does not want to come off...feels tight around headlights...there arent any screws that hold it under the headlights are there?

solved...you can delete this thread ry its useless

Yeah, the bumper clips on under each head light. A flat head works good to pop it up and off.

figured that one out when i looked at the bumper im putting on :hammer:

Don't feel bad. The first one I did on my car, I didn't know either. I was tugging and when it let go it popped so loud, I thought I destroyed my new headlights....

k i took off the bumper cover and the headlight panel and found a nice little surprise...i knew when i bought my car that it had an accident on the front but didnt really know how bad it was. now after three years of owning it i pull the bumper cover and the bumper is squished and bent back on the right hand side....so now im wondering how to take the foam piece off...there are two rivets..that hold it on im debating on whether to drill them out....

I dont think it will matter i didnt have the foam on my rear bumper on my 6. Now if you get in a wreak it will probibly hurt more and do more damage.

Drill'em out. To reattach it (if you want to) judt duct tape it back on (seriously....wrap the foam around the bumper support) or big ass zipties. Its styrofoam...its light and it will never be seen again unless you take it off later.
