Got some vinyl work done. Gloss black headlight surround, smoked front DRLs/turn signals and smoked the side markers. Got the rear valence wrapped in matte black as well.

That's on my project list for Saturday. Along with oil change and brake flush. Going to try out my new Quickjack. Any lessons learned? Did you really need to remove the bumper?

Removing the rear wheels and side mufflers (if you have them) gives very good access also. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the change was.

Damn wish you would have told me. I would have helped so I know what to do when I add my mesh grills.
Any tips that aren't in that doc we went over? Did you remove the wheels even?

It was my first time so I took my time taking it off. I followed this guy's steps:

http://www.renntrack.com/forums/show...Bumper-Removal

I didn't remove the wheels, just jacked the car up. Be prepared to remove a lot of T25 & T30 screws. Also, make sure you release the metal clip from the inside headlight all the way out see pics #16 & #17 in the link. And don't forget to release the windshield fluid lines from the driver-side bumper and the fog light wire on the passenger-side bumper.

It took me about 2 hours to remove it (took my time), but now I believe I can do it in under an hour. I haven't put it back on yet so that's another story.

Pushed it past the 40K mile mark. Ugh. Now it's a worthless piece of carp. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to just keep driving it.
