I got the screws off the wheel wells, the 2 bolts behind the clips on the front of the car, the 2clips/2bolts on the top of the bumper, and the clip holding the little piece off. I tried to remove the bumper and it wont come off. It seems like i missed some bolts or something holding the bumper on in the middle near the crash beam. Wut am i missing b/c i cant see any more bolts?

i wont to put the stock licp back on thats y.

 

Look in the How To section about the LICP install. It shows how to take the bumper off.

Here you go:

jux give it a good *** yank...

 

thats for the VIII is the IX differnet b/c i gave the bumper a hell of a yank and it didnt want to come off.

 

Your either not yanking hard enough or you need to adjust your grip placement when yanking.
Just had my IX bumper off a few weeks ago and the link above covers everything I did.

 

 

bump

 

i removed all of the above clips and bolts and the bumper did not want to come off thats y i thought there was more bolts. i dont want to break the bumper i was yanking hard?

 

Work your way out from (in the above posted diagram) C (corner will need to be pulled down), ensure the bumper is loose. Work in towards A.
The center section is probably where you are hung up. Grab ahold of the ront bumper by the corners by where the inner lower corners of the headlight are and pull there. Should pop right off.

 

great detail

 

did u remove the two painted caps and take both of those 10mm bolts out?

 

^^^ Like stated above. Those 2 circle caps on the front bumper can come off, and behind those caps are 2 10mm bolts...

 

yea i removed the bolts behind the painted caps, the corners of the bumper were loose but it seemed like the middle did not want to come off.

 

I had a hard time taking mine off aswell.. Check that you removed all the plastic clips under the bumper there all a bunch of them... there are 4 plastic niples that engage into the metal... 2 facing upwards on the bumper and 2 facing towards the car right at the front. I had a hard time to get mine off until those popped off.

 

bump, did you ever get it off, I'm going to do this tonight to get to the mesh....or is there any easier way to get to it? (off a IX)
