Bumpers

Anyone here know if its hard to replace the front and rear bumpers?
If you do, it will be a great help if you can tell me the instructions.

Be careful


The wiring for the air bag is in that area!
The rest is self-explanatory
unbolt the bumper cover and remove it
Can't imagine why you would want to take the bumper off but it's your thing
Good luck

Is there a reason you need the bumpers off? Just thought I would check to see if they really needed to come off or if other instructions were needed instead.

Are you replacing just the cover, or the whole impact beam, etc...?

I have some instructions that will show how the front cover is removed if that's what you need...

No problem..maybe I should update it and put the finished product in there as well, I kind of rushed the last few steps.

It's a big file though..2.1 meg. I may be able to shrink that down some.

Crash

Yup,
i live in Boise, Idaho. I had my wedding in October and i went with my wife on my honeymoon. My brother in law drove back my car back to boise. Some how he fell a sleep on the wheel and went off the road. So my front bumper is cracked. My back bumper is bent. Driver side exaust pipe is bent as well. And my wheels ( I had 17"), and the bottom of my car were scratched by desert grass.
No I have put new 18" wheels. And trying to get the bumpers fixed i got off ebay. I done have much tools. So i'm tring to prepair in advance with the tools i need.

If you are buying SVX parts on ebay, make sure you read this thread FIRST.
