taking off front bumper
 
im planning on doing some work to my front bumper and adding a lip to it. i know theres 4 spots underneath the front molding to un-do, where are the other screws that i need to get to to get the front bumper off ?

thanks for the help

you shouldn't be taking off the front bumper.. you should be taking off the front bumper cover (confusing i know)

you will see all the screws.. you will first need to remove your liscense plate and any cover molding you have (i have the m3 bumper now so there are like 4 screws total) and then just unscrew anything holding it down... you should then have something connecting the sides to just in front of the tire (again i don't, although mine got ripped out)

it's very easy to do, and you don't have to worry about messing anything up as long as you don't force anything.

awesome thanks! yea i didnt really mean the whole front bumper hah. it should all be the same considering i dont have an m front bumper right ?

yeah it's roughly the same thing, possibly screws in different places.

after you remove any and all screws on the front side connecting to the bumper to the cover, see if it the cover comes off (it won't be hard)

if it doesn't, or if it catches on anything, you might have those two t-looking things right by the tire.

good luck!!
