How do you remove the front bumper

you may need to remove front bumper

Don't think the saving is enough to warrant the
aggravation of removing the front fascia of a vehicle,
with no experience

The body shop needs the car to match the paint color

There are some steps that help you to easily remove Front Bumper :
1. Open the hood of your car.
2 . Look under the edge of the front of the car at the end of the bumper.
Pull the plastic shield down out of the way if it doesn't come off completely. Reach behind the bumper at each corner and you should find a bolt holding the corner of the bumper to the car. Remove these bolts. The bumper should come off.

1. The sides of the bumper are held to the body with a single screw/bolt. Take these out.
2. Open bonnet
3. You will now see several 10mm bolts holding the bumper to the main body. These need to be taken out.
4. The sides (just underneath the headlight) are held in place by white plastic clips. Carefully pull the sides away from the clips.
5. From the front carefully pull the bumper out from the main body.

you have a painted numer cover over the bumper that must be removed, before you can access the bumper and remove it, remove all attaching hardware that attaches the bumper>reinstall and align front bumper install bumper cover and align, and paint as neccessary, I wouldtake it to a body shop and have it repaired if you have not done this repair before as you may find misalignment and seized hardware.

Only way it would work is to do the 01 conversion by switching the whole doghouse (fenders, hood, bumper, lights, etc.) It can be done though.

Take off the tyre and remove the plastic inner fender first.
