Ok you guys asked for this.


Ok the two Silver arrows are underneath on that water/dirt guard two long brackets from the bumper mount here.

Ok the three Red are underneath as well they are black bolts 10mm heads, they screw into clips that mount on the water/dirt guard

The Blue are the same 10mm black headed screws they are right by the tires u will see them.

Now the Green is tricky, when u get every other bolt off go after the green, it is the same 10mm black headed screw, but it is hidden in the fender wall, so peal back the guard and u will see the bolt when u get that bolt out work the whole side of the bumper out, it feels like its still bolted but its not it just snaps out

Oh and there is 5 plastic snaps that hold the bumper in on the top the Purple u have to use a Phillips head screw driver for and the Orange use a flat head and just pop them up, There is one in the middle as well.

That’s it!

Thats a lot of crash foam.

Look at it this way, at least the car will float if it ever goes in the drink. :lol:
