I'd prefer to remove the front bumper. There are lots of scuffs and stuff underneath, so if I can pull it off, I can do a better job of touching up all the scuffs. I'm not looking to get it paint shop perfect, but I wouldn't mind being able to set it on a bench and carefully scuff/paint, rather than lying on my back painting above my head.

That's what I did. Did a full write up on it with photos and posted it in the Appearance forum and got flamed for "going the long way around the barn" instead of just ripping off the grille. It seems some people are only interested in saving time rather than doing things the right way. If you need help let me know, I've got a little experience in doing it!

Yeah, I saw your write-up and it has pretty well convinced me that I can (and should) do this the "right" way. With my luck, I'd go to pull the grille off and end up tearing a 3" hole in the bumper.

you read it wrong. i worded it to say that as soon as someone on her gets a f-body it seems no sooner than they bought it they are selling it to buy a shitbox reg car or truck. and as soon as the cars been gone a few months they are looking for another f-body and the cycle repeats.
