Re: Getting serious about a FMIC, need options...

The trick to getting a 2G front cover off is to undo the bolts that hold the fiberglass bumper's supports, not the part that connects to the fiberglass bumper, but the bolts that connect the metal supports to the chassis. There are 2 17mm(I think) bolts on each side. Then you can just do the 5 10mm bolts along the top where it meets the hood, get the plastic fender well splash covers out of the way and do the 2 10mm bolts on each side of the car holding the front bumper cover on, then either undo all the plastic rivets in the from air dams or just cut the plastic since it isn't going back in anyways. Then you can pull the whole front cover and bumper off as one piece, and those annoying lower bolts under the headlights are easy to get at off the car.
