HELP (how do i get the bumper off)

[gilberjj]

Im putting on my new intercooler piping and i HAVE to take the bumper off, how do i get it off???? ive got 2 long bolts out that hook up to the bumper support or crash support thingy.... the big black bar that runs through the bumper. and ive poured throught the tsrm...... im on a deadline here and can't figure out how to get the bumper off.

The bumper cover that goes over the bumper support/crash bar?

The plastic wheelwells come out.

The plastic covers that block the headlights from the road when they're down come out.

Slide those 2 long bolts back into place for the crash bar for your safety.

Now you have access to the metal supports for the bumper cover and lip.
Attack those that connect to the fenders.

Now you have to remove the nose piece with the Supra/Toyota badge. Deepwell 10mm socket and extension for the outer corners, just a deep well for the 5(?) nipple-nuts in the space for the hoodlatch and overflow.

Should be pretty obvious whats next after the nose piece come out. Hope This Helps,

Hell naw... There are 2 large bolts accessible at the headlights, then remove the bolts at the fender lining to the bumper cover. Disonnect/remove the foglights, etc... Pretty straightforward...20 minutes max...

The whole bumper assembly will come out at once.. not that heavy. Do a search and see what other advice U can find...
