Reinstalling front bumper

[twonineseven]

it seems like there is another bolt under the corner lights. i got the nuts off from the turn signals and the ones in the wheel wells. just seems like it should pull away further

Did you get the two 14mm bolts that face upwards on the backside of the bumper support?

 

[twonineseven]

no those are the ones that i'm naving a had time trying to locate... it sucks not being able to have it up off the ground

 

[twonineseven]

found the 2 bolts to the bumper support the one is a real tough to get out

 

[Lucas03ES]

Yeah I ended getting about 14" of extensions just to get to it.

Get it off?

 

[twonineseven]

nah didnt have enough time... lol i had to limited time in the garage

 

[twonineseven]

got it off i see you cut the bumper support did you cut into the frame in thr front at all... here is a pic of my set up



the only problem i have ran into is to where to relocate my external oil cooler... i'm thinking if i just have it behind the FMIC it should be fine... and what did you do for the hood release? I just fab'd up a 1/4 in think piece of angle iron and drill holes and connected it to the top of the front clip right behind where the grill goes

I had to use crap loads of extensions too. Just use a pipe on the end of the wrench if it helps. Why can't you get the car off the ground? Hope there is a good excuse for that.

 

[twonineseven]

I'm getting the hint that with most custom FMIC setups you have to eliminate the fogs

 

[Lucas03ES]

I didn't cut my support at all, but the previous owner did. There is no room on mine for the fogs because of the way the IC piping is routed.

ah i got ya... i'll see if i can get away without cutting it but i will probably have 2
