Anyways, i take off the plate, then the bracket and behold i have a nice little empty square in the bumper im assumin the old user took off and threw the peice out?

P.S i also wanna remove the mesh grills in teh bumper below is there a trick to removing them?

 

have you check your glove compartment for the LP cover? the dealer usually sticks them in there from day 0. if not, here is where you can buy them

you just have to paint it

 

thanx buddy i checked and i guess i got screwed on that little peice cause i really was not in the mood to get a whole new bumper cause of that hole. And thank goodness its cheap!

i owe ya!

 

no problem and no worries. glad I could help.

I'm not sure how to go about the bumper inlet diffuser removal, but I'm sure someone has done so

 

arite i really wanan get rid of those cause just abuot all th g's ive seen on here has em off. Anyone know how to do this??

P.S i ordered the cover from the website should be here by next week :P

 

If I had to guess about taking them off... you'd probably have to take the front bumper off... just a guess though. I'll check tomorrow... but try shining a flashlight into them and see if you see and grounding bolts behind them

 

yeah i tried looking and im assumin they are bolted down ( which is stupid ) so i prolly gotta get it off.. grrr i hate that crap lol =P

 

The grills you have to cut out to remove them, and your tow hook cover will come unpainted, so you'll have to get it painted by a shop

 

i say go to dealership and get the painted 1 =) wouldn't that be cheaper/?

 

were the words "dealership" and "cheaper" just used in the same sentence???? amazing!

lol, just messin. you might actually be right, it would make sense for them to carry this, or at least have access to directly order them painted from the manufacturer

 

the one from the dealerships comes unpainted, they don't sell painted tow hook covers from the factory

 

Your State doesn't require front plate? If so just leave the plate there and save you trouble later. I knew a few ppl got trouble for removed front plates when they required both front and back.

If its all good, just go dealer and get one, probably cost a little more, but you'll get the color you want.

 

^+1, they are part of the bumper cover - pull the cover off and cut them out from the inside, there's a lip you can cut along to keep it clean looking

 

good point..lol

 

I haven't had a front license plate for 15 years and I'm not about to start now! If and when I get a ticket for not having one then I'll get it written
off and take it off again.......they ruin the way the front end looks law or
not.........! haha
