Let us know how it goes for ya!

 

Bumper change went pretty smooth. Biggest pain was changing the grille and fog lights over from one bumper to the other.

The results:

 

subed for later great how to thanks fo doing it

 

This is a good "How-To" !!!

 

Anyone know if this is the same for the 09 ss ?

 

Should be the same.

 

For all those removing the rear is just as easy with the right tools.

Remove rear wheels(or jack the car up high enough the suspension droops enoough)

remove clips on the rearmost part of innerfenderwell

you should see a small cutout on the innerfenderwell where the bumper meets the quarter, remove the bolt there

remove all bolts/screws under trunk lid that are attatched to bumper

remove tails

remove clips under bumper(if I remember right there should be 4 or 5 starting at the exhaust cutout you should see them)

remove liscense plate and light

remove parking markers(rectangle reflectors on the side of bumper)

start at front lower corners of rear bumper and gently pull outwards, you will feel the plastic clips on the seam holding, be persistent and kinda wiggle it up and down and they should release after a few minutes once both sides have come undone from the clips grab from the bottom of the inside of the trunk and remove bumper.

 

Where does the bumper absorber belong? I dont see it in the pictures

 

The foam part? it goes on the black bumper directly infront of his radiator.

 

dude thanks to this how to it was so much easier to get my heat exchanger on. amazing write up. and these cars are damn hideous without the front bumper

 

is it possible to install the headlights then put the bumper back on? cause im running out of ideas to install my gen4s, i cant get them to fit for ****

 

i dont see why u have an issue alot of ppl have gen 4s

 

i had these lights before and the passenger light did not fit good. it stuck out. now this time a brand new light wont even go in. maybe i should contact depo

 

Remove your grill clips before installing headlights.

 

Found it, everything is unbolted except the three underneath on both sides (6 total). Started raining on my head. I finish in the morning.

 

Removal took me 20min with sockets and a drill. I also had some rusted bolts. I'm sure it will take me 10 min longer reinstalling.
