Sweet, now don't nobody come around, I dont need my bumper to go missing now. ha ha

Hey Tim, how much of the back of the bumper did you need to cut to get it to fit over the intercooler???

 

I'm supposed to get mine Sat. I'm so giddy inside.

 

I had to sign for mine. Maybe the would have left it if I were not home.

Jon - I had to take my dremel and cut out some of the passenger side to clear the water pump and hoses. It will depend on where you water pump is installed. I also had to heat the edges that touch the intercooler with a heat gun and bend them just a touch. On another note the pulley went out today via priority mail. You should see it on Friday.

 

Now I am really dancing.

 

so we have to removing our grill and put them on the new nismo bumper right? how does that work?!?! fill me in please.

 

The old grille just snaps in place.
You also have to remove the mounts for the sidemarkers and install them in the new one. It comes with good instructions.

 

Remember this ends tomorrow!

 

ARGHHHH Am I too late.... oh, wait a second, mine will be here Sat. Ha ha. Yesssssss...

 

Post some pics.
What did you do with your hood? Is it all just CF still?

 

I got mine today. Box and bumper were in good condition. I did NOT have to sign for it.

Is there supposed to be fasteners for the license plate cover???

 

I don't think so; I took the ones off my other bumper. This kit was made to replace the old one so I think they expect you to have the other one available for parts.

 

OK, thanks.

 

Is the bumper as hard to put on as the directions would have you believe? I have installed the aftermarket bumper on my old 5.0 mustang. I have also installed all the mods that are in my sig. When I look at the directions for the bumper it seams like they maybe making appear that it is more complicated than it is. So is pretty easy? How long should it take?

 

Correction all but the springs. Did not have spring compressors.

 

The bumper is not hard to put on. The directions are a little too in depth if you ask me.
All you do is:
1) take off old bumper
2) remove grille
3) remove side marker mounts (grille snaps, sidemarker mounts need the rivets drilled out.
4) install grille and sidemarker mounts in new bumper
5) drill out rivets and remove the extra spacers on bumper
6) put new bumper on car

If you have an intercooler then the air ducts will need to be modified.

I did mine in a little over an hour and never even looked at the instructions until I was done.
