uno Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 -all the wheel well push screw clips and bolts are off -all the screw clips along the underside are off -the top two bolts on near the very front of the radiatior cover are off but there still seems to be something pretty sturdy holding the front bumper cover on, i was told there's a couple bolts somewhere but i cant find them. From feeling the looseness of the bumper i THINK they are somewhere around the headlight housings. anyone have experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-red04snake Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 you did not mention these. it might be your problem. Right where the cover meets the fender inside the wheel well there are 2 nuts on each side holding the bumper cover to the fender. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uno Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 its gotta be Part #5 on that PDF document, that's where it still feels tight, when i wiggle the bumper around. And thats the only part i didnt unscrew or pop off....on another note i have no clue where that part is, unless you have to get under the car under the headlight assembly perhaps EDIT by the way, where did you find that PDF document....i would LOVE to have a manual like that on file.

It's not clear in the picture but you have to remove the left and right front fender spash shields to get to the two inside bolts (#5 on both sides) and to disconnect the lights (#6 on both sides). Then you should be able to pull it forward and off fairly easily. If you are looking for Ford Service Manuals with .pdf drawings and removal/installation procedures then try something like this: Ford Service Manual on E-Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby101 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Lethal performance also has good directions for removal to allow for the intercooler coil installation and they have Pictures. When reassembling be sure the stirafoam peice goes back with the top side up or will have problems reinstalling the bumper. It will not aleign with the the lights.

uno Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Aesthetically....I have feeling it will be either gorgeous or atrocious...kind of depends on if you like that race look too. Either way, the functionality is definitely there. I know its slightly sacrilegious...but there's still a little bit of import tuning to be flushed from my system. If you read my About me page you can see an example of a car i used to be more into. But I've moved on. My two rides are night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
