quick how to on bumper removal lol?

 

putting newpaper on takes all of 10 minutes, and even if you take the bumper off you still need to tape off and cover the parts that arent painted to protect from overspray

 

Just did mine, took off the bumper - it was so much easier to work with it that way:





Did the fog lights too since I didn't think it had continuity.

 

mines

 

Removing bumper:

- take out the headlights, remove one bolt near the wheel well,
- remove 3 screws on the right side underneath the bumper, 2 on the left side (7mm)
- remove all of the top clips and front support bracket
- unplug fog lights
- remove bumper

as Hatrickstu said, takes literally 10 minutes.

 

wow it looks great

 

Thank you!

 

what kind of headlights r those? ive never seen a single halo ring

 

edited bcuz i posted twice

 

I hope to be doing mine either this month or next.

 

im on the fence on whether I like the fog lights done or not...

 

it looks good on the red. Not sure what it would look likw with my yellow though?

 

 

i don't think i'll be painting the fogs, just my opinion...

 

yeah, I was 50/50 on the fogs too. No changing it now. I like it IMO though.

I think on red it looks good. Not too sure how it would look on other colors though.

 

So its official??
this is called the evo x look?
nice
i like that

 

yea im not 100% on the fogs.i like that people are doing different things though. Wanted to find somethign to do to the rear of the car. I like my grill idea b/c i havent seen it done yet

 

yeah, two each's own, ya know. I'm still not sold on it myself, even though it is permanent now

 

I was gonna paint from one fog light all the way to the other......no paint on lip.

I think I wanna do a wrap on my car of giant ECO engine mechanical drawings. Ive been wanting to do that for a loooooooong time, just not to my DD.

 

local hobby shop??? if not m sure you could find it some where on the internet maven..

 

Yeah I know, I dont like buying things off the intrawebz though. LOL. Even If I buy something from a vendor I call in my order. Virtual shopping is ghey

 

i think it looks more like the Concept eclipse bumper!

 

if you do it right it shouldn't chip, by prepping the bumper correctly and cleaning it, i did mine with about 5 coats of paint, and 8 coats of non-luster clear, and i haven't had it chip yet. Its been on the car for about 2-3 months i also do a lot of freeway driving, mine has yet to chip...

hat's right it really easy to do, it only took me about 10-15mins to take my bumer off when i did it.

 

iiight good to hear cause im all highway to an from work

 

yea i have a feeling my front lip is gonna hold up better then the rest of my bumper down the line. I really wanna get my whole bumper repainted and cleared so I dont have to worry about it chipping or anything if I ever go to a carwash down the line. The height different in the paint on the lip to the rest of the bumper will NOT hold up well to any form of pressure washer lol. And thats fine when i was my car, but right now its at the dealer getting brakes done and if they give me a complimentary car wash...forget about it
