Does anyone know how to install a new front bumper?
I have a skyline R33 front bumper clip that just came in and I need a DIY on how to install it!
Maybe just the materials necessary for the project?

Maybe just the materials necessary for the project?

what is it. . urethane or fiberglass. . either or. . i heard you have to put the kit on NOT painted first, to drill the holes in, and to make sure it fits the car. After about a week or so you can remove it and it'll have all the curves and the fit of the car and then you can paint it. This kind of prep will help keep the paint from chipping or cracking. . sooo calling people or assuming that the kit isn't painted yet and saying "Getto Fab". . . .is not right. . .
yeah that's fine, just don't leave it on for a couple months like me and get lazy about painting it, or you might find people calling you ghetto fab. I'm getting Xenon sides and WW avenger back so I could care less what you think.[IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

Okay, first remove the four clips on top of the front grille. Open up the hood to see them. Wedge in a small screwdriver and wiggle it around with a rocking motion. This pops the head of the clip up. Then just grab the head up the clip, pull it out a bit, and then pull the whole clip out. Practice up top, 'cause there's four more clips underneath the bumper to take out. Then take a 10mm socket and un-bolt these four bolts underneath. Then take a phillips head screwdriver and unscrew these two screws underneath. Then take out two more (longer) clips on the sides holding the rubber "spoiler" on to the bumper. Pull the rubber spoiler off. Then just two more phillips head screw in the corners by the wheel wells. Unscrew those. Then pull on the bumper (first near the wheel wells. Pull it out to the sides. Then pull it out from underneath the headlights. Pull it to the front. Do both sides like this and then grab the bumper in the middle and just take it off. Watch out not to crush this little styrofoam piece that has a tendency to fall out sometimes. That's it. Good luck!
