I accidentally drove my g into a shelf into my garage and now I need to replace the front bumper. I have the new skin, but I am looking for instructions on how to replace it.

Thanks!

 

Here is what you do...

Get 2 jacks and jack up your car on both sides.
Remove both wheels.
Now remove the sidemarkers by prying out with your fingers from the wheel wells towoards the door.
Twist the bulb to lossen the sidemarker from the car allowing the bulb and to wire hang.
Open the hood and remove 8 clips by taking a flat screwdriver and pulling up the little head in the middle to lossen the clips.
Then, remove 10 10mm (I think) bolts (or you may use a phillips screwdriver) on the bottom of the bumper.
Now, remove the screws and clips in the wheel wells and pull the bumper off.
Be careful you don't hurt yourself [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

If you have any questions PM me.

Thanks a million. Sounds like I may as well do the blinking running lights at the same time while I have everything apart.

Terrific instructions. I had the bumper replaced within about 2 hours.

Two things I would add...

The replacement bumper skin I had did not come with the two metal braces that the marker lights pass through. I needed to drill out the two rivets on each brace and re-attach the braces using nuts/bolts.

Also, the grill comes off with the bumper, there are about 8 pinch connectors which hold the grill to the bumper skin.

Thanks again for the awesome instructions.
