First solo mod: Removal of front Bumper
I just want to start this off by saying when I bought this car, it was my first sports car and first car I made any modifications. Over the last year and haft I have done some basic mods like an aFe intake, Perrin CBE, and most recently, Borla UEL Headers and Motiv OP. All these mods I had some help either via friend or forum members. In anticipation of getting my OFT, Shiv recommend I switch back to the stock intake. I have been wanting to do this for a while. I have even had the Perrin Inlet tube and a TRD Filter ready for when I did. Well this past Sunday, I decided to tackle this. Read some posts be members and it looked pretty straight forward. Doing this for the first time, what a PITA. I hate those large pop rivets. The side markers were very easy. Anyways 3 hours later I had the bumper, off, stock air box/snorkel re-installed, and the bumper back on. After doing this once, looking back its very easy once I figured out the plastic pop rivets. Anyways enjoy the pictures. Moral of the story. If I can do something like this, anyone can.

Rofl! I know how you feel. I put my bike back together 99% by myself after an unanticipated "safari" at a roadracing school! I damned near wanted to cry! Now I almost feel like a mechanical god! What's next!
Well done! |
