Rear Fascia question..

[joshuaandrew92]

Will the 06 SE rear fascia just bolt/screw right in to a 04 rear bumper or do i have to get the whole 06 bumper????

It should pop right in.

 

[joshuaandrew92]

It should just like pop in with clips or...? From looking at my factory fascia it looks like there may be like 4 screws or something in it

I think it's those stupid push pin things

 

[Explicit_Spade]

There's flat tabs that go in first, then 4? body pins, and last is 2 plastic screws on the tabs in the bumper foam.

04+ are a little different. I think we only have 12 wider snap tabs.

Sounds like it may be a *****... but it looks so good

Its not diffiuclt at all. Undo the pins with pliars, unscrew the screws in the foam and pull. It should be 5-10 minutes to swap them out.

It's simple...there's 4 push pins you have to remove and snaps into place.

on my car (2008) i had to cut 4 tabs off since they wouldn't line up. and used a crapload of 2 sided tape the first time around.

now i've replaced tape with seam sealer. that ***** is never coming off you'll just have to find out when you get it but was definately an easy install

^Well you're the only one. I also have had mine off my 06, very easy to do, just don't be afraid to pull hard on it.

Where can you buy this? I was looking to do this mod as well

If you don't know where to get it, then you can't afford it.

 

[Javi]

LOL!

 

[Mad Monkey]

If you don't know where to get it, then you can't afford it.

even if you DO know where to get it, you still cant afford it!

Thanks guys for the advice... What about swapping out the exhaust tips? Is that a MUST? or will my factory tips work

edit - couch, the red on your car makes me happy in pants

 

[Couch]

factory tips should be fine...i have 3 in tips with lots of room around them. i suppose you could squeeze in dual 3 in tips BUT i didn't want to get to close to the paint with mine.

i'll measure the diameter on my next smoke break so you know for sure. worst case scenario tips are 30-80 bucks depending on where and what your buying.

and i'm glad wendy provided another happy pants experience
