side skirts, find plastic screws on underside up in the back, removed screw then pop out retainer


front bumper, remove grill, remove pins, disconnect the 3 bumper stays and then four bolts at the back corners, 10mm iirc, use some extentions


really easy

Kind of on the same subject. My front bumper on my SVT is loose. I can jiggle it up and down if I grasp the middle of the bumper (below the grill). Is this normal? Should it be able to jiggle? Any ideas on how to tighten it up?

my bumper bolts where 8mm not 10. and yes you will need extentions!!! or remover your front wheel and take the front of the inner fender out.

naw, just pull the liner back

with just the pins under the grill and the rear bolts on the front bumper buckshoot can pull his in under 10 minutes ...


maybe it was 8mm, i don't recall off hand right at the moment


also use enough extentions to get below the bottom of the bumper
