Re: FRONT BUMPER SUPPORT QUES? you have to remove the front bumper cover to remove the supports, same for the rear. mine is a daily drive during the summer and i havent had any probs in 2 years without them, no sagging or anything. just dont go leaning on them. cleans it out nicely <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: FRONT BUMPER SUPPORT QUES? Does the HELM's manual show how to remove the fron't and rear bumpers, I'm also thinking about doing this... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I don't let anyone touch my car... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

That is doing everything with hand tools, being leisurely, and taking pictures along the way. It really isn't a big deal. I'm sure you'll have no problems with it.

They won't help you I don't think. There aren't any pics of what to remove. Just pics of the fascia, bumper, front-end without the bumper, styrofoam, etc.
