Is removing front bumper that easy? Instructions?
I searched and all of the links seem to be broken, and the pictures of the removal instructions are expired. I did get the general consensus that removing the bumper is easy and takes 10 minutes or less if you have done it before. I'm sure I can figure it out just by trying it, but does anyone have any of these expired pictures showing the instructions just so I have a better idea of what I'm doing so I don't forget to remove some stupid clip and end up snapping it or something? Thanks.

It's pretty easy, there was a post about how to do it. Here's the link:

I was able to take it off easily once I got all those stupid *** snap clips off. The ones in the wheel well did not want to come off for me. I have to order some new ones since a mangled 2 or 3 of them.

I wish they would just use some damn bolts. I used to have VW and it was so much easier than the damn snap screws.

It's scary pulling the sides of the bumper out.

I am so fed up with all of the plastic rivets. I broke half of them. So I ordered an aluminum underpanel from Japan. Just bolts right in

i just did mine for the first time and it sucked lol. The VIII is a lot easier, I ended up breaking some clips on the driver side I dont know what they were or where they went but the bumper is not coming off, so I will deal with all that at a later time lol
