Re: FRONT BUMPER SUPPORT QUES? MY CAR IS A DAILY DRIVER FOR MY WIFE. IWANT TO LIGHTEN THE NOSE UPA LITTLE SO MAYBE ONE DAY I CAN YANK THE WHEELS. JUST WANT TO KNOW IF I CAN REMOVE THE SUPPORT WITHOUT PULLING THE NOSE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL DROP DOWN FROM THE BOTTOM. SOMEONE HAS TO KNOW, HELP US OUT.
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" />

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.
