Lower lip removal...

I did a search to find out if there is a post on how to remove the lower lip on the bumper on an ss/sc. The reason i am asking is i had an incident where I scraped the bottom on a curb because some **** was parked behind me and I had to maneuver to get out. I told him about it and he said “ I gave you plenty of room not knowing that the ss/sc doesn’t have the same turning radius comaired to his mazda 323.

So since its bugging me I plan to remove it and get it either replaced or refinished.

Thanx Night Blade, I thought it would be pretty simple. Does anyone have any idea on price for a replacement?

I never got another one because about a month last I hit a deer and just let the insurance comp. pay for it. They thought the deer ripped it off.

yea just f'kd mine up on my ice filled driveway..grrr. anyways I don't think it is meant to come off without taking the whole bumper off because their are a couple metal clips at the bumper round part that I don't think u can reach with the bumper on.

guess i need a new one now since all the clips are busted..too bad waste of an otherwise good lip.

I went to a paint repair shop. He informs me that he could fix the sratches for about $250 and fix any paint chips for free. I will have to wait until the spring to see how things pan out.
