Decided it was the perfect time to tackle what I've been wanting to get done for a while. Installation of the IND reflectors requires bumper removal and so does the front lower grill so it was a 2-for-1 deal. Overall a pretty straight forward job and no surprises. I put together a couple of videos for those who like to DIY so I'll probably get those uploaded in the next day or two.

Anyways, who cares about all my yapping.......I know you guys really only care about the pics


Getting ready for bumper removal




About 15 minutes later...




Decided it was a good time for a detail as well as vacuuming up all the junk around the radiator and intercooler. I couldn't believe the size of some of the grass hoppers I got out of there.






Removing old silver grill and replacing with new black unit as well as cracking open the new painted front reflectors






Reinstalling after reflectors and grills were done. Some final shots






I love this! How did you remove the front bumper? Any step by step instructions?
