BUMPER AND INTERIOR MODS? 1) HOW HARD IS IT TO TAKE OFF THE FRONT BUMPER. I TOOK A QUICK GLANCE AT IT AND THE LITTLE FACTORY PLASTIC SCREWS LOOK LIKE THEY MIGHT BE A SMALL PROBLEM. HOW HARD IS IT TO TAKE OFF/REPLACE? WHAT HARDWARE IS NEEDED? HOW LONG (ESTIMATE) SHOULD IT TAKE ME TO REPLACE?
2) I WOULD LIKE TO PAINT MY INTERIOR (CENTER CONSOLE, AREA AROUND STEREO, AIR VENTS, ECT.) TO MATCH THE EXTERIOR. HOW MUCH WORK IS INVOLVED IN DOING SO? DO I NEED TO SAND DOWN THE PIECES BEFORE I PAINT THEM? HOW LONG SHOULD ALL THIS TAKE? WHAT TYPE OF PAINT (FACTORY OR AFTERMARKET) SHOULD I USE? HAS ANYONE PAINTED THEIR INTERIOR, IF SO HAVE THEY HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH CRACKING? ANY LIKES/PREFERENCES/DISLIKES?
*THANKS FOR YOUR HELP*

Re: BUMPER AND INTERIOR MODS? 1. LOSE the caps lock bro.
2. The plastic things pop off with a screwdriver.
3. Yes you have to sand the interior pieces for the best results. Some people like it, some dont it comes down to how you like it, not what others think/say. You can use a selection of paints, most use engine enamel and have success with that. Some have had theirs crack, but very few.
4. Use the search feature on this site, all of the painting questions have been asked 5+ times in the past 7 days.
Hope this helps.
