Super Autobacs wouldn't swap my wheels because it was against store policy and didn't want to see my wheels fail under their name. What a joke.

Oh well, tuesday I guess.

Oh yeah, I was told by someone to remind you that you're a queer and bring your jacks...

April 26th!!

bring your 5 foot breaker bar. and/or have the 3 "cat" bolts loosened beforehand.

i guess its a cali thing with the bumper..my cars not lowered though, but ive taken it off a good 5-6 times

***Mikey6p*** · 04-07-2008, 03:50 AM

Its because you arent lowered.

Here is the process of events:

Lower car
Bumper hits ground/curb/small child
screw hole eventually breaks
bumper repeatedly comes unclipped due to lack of screw
all attempts at fixing screw loop fail
entire clip breaks off due to stress.

you have no idea how often that happens!

and yeah, are those the only bolts I need to loosen?

***GETxERxDONE*** · 04-07-2008, 03:57 AM

oo lol well my friend was lowered on the buddy club N+ which are really really low for like 1.5 years and didnt have problems. but that stuff that i told you about should fix the screw loop too. on the commercials they rolled it up like play-doh and used it for a chain link that lifted a cinder block lol

theres only 2 screws holding the bumper on, then like 10 clips on the bottom you need to pop out then rest is the little clips at the top of the bumper...oh and the hex screws on the radiator frame thing that you need to the take the radiator cover off to see

It was too late by the time you told me about that stuff. :/

But it has held on that tab perfectly. I need to dremel some of it away to get it to fit better though. Less gap

WiseGuyLX · 04-07-2008, 04:01 AM

how did those pics of my car turn out? Just curious...

***GETxERxDONE*** · 04-07-2008, 04:02 AM

yeah. i love that stuff man, i use it for alot of things like filling in the grille before i overlayed it, works like bondo but dries fast and sands nicely
