jimsutton What is the process to remove front and back bumpers ?? has any one done it and how hard is it and how much time ??
DFOTOPRO front a pain in the butt, back not so bad..if you have never done I would guess about 3 hrs
idive Fronts can be done in about 30 minutes. Take out 3 of the bolts and rotate the bumper down to get to the last bolt. That one is slow going. Small turns at a time. Unplug the light and that's it. Rears you need small hands. Be prepared to bleed doing both.
ed monahan There are four bolts on each of the front bumpers. They are inside a triangle. If you have a short handle ratchet, especially one with a flex head, it will help.
You only need one wrench, the nuts are welded to a strap.
It is a lot easier to get to the bolts if you take out the grill, which is only a few minute job.
Kevin A Wait, are you guys saying the bumpers can come OFF?
alrtg No, you got it wrong.
The cars were built without bumpers and a few actually opted to install them. Why I will never understand.

JeraneW Oh! I thought there were only supposed to be 700 built and when they extended production, they ran out of bumpers. LOL
DFOTOPRO the option was listed as Stadium Seating for Four, most thinking as the car only held 2, why did they need it
catfish fyi,when you remove bumpers,you will have no b/up lites and no t/signals.you can install a tom mills kit for the t/signals,there is nothing avaiable as far as b/up lites go,unless you install a a/m roll pan.
------------------
idive For backup lights, I pull out a couple spotlights. One plugs into my lighter place and the other is battery operated. Lights up like daytime and I have never had a problem backing up with them.
alrtg Here is a thought. It is silly but would cover two issues at the same time.
Buy a pair of high intensity headlights and put them in the hole left by the rear bumpers.
It will fill up the holes and you can use them both as back up lights and to encourage the guy behind you to dim those high beams.
ed monahan With great ideas like that it is amazing that you aren't really rich.
