So i wanted to paint the front and rear fascia. However taking them off is proving difficult. Is it practical to take them off or just do a good tape off job? I have the 5 plug things out but that's it so far.
 


alright will post pictures in the other thread I have asking for opinions. Thanks for the help in the help thread though haha.
 
there are three screws on top between the headlights (probably got those already) Then there only two more, one on each side. It bolts the bumper to the fender. You need a 10mm socket and it goes straight up through the hole in the fenderwell cover (next to the wheel). Then you literally pull it straight out and it comes off (after disconnecting fog lamps of course).



or you can tape/spray. your choice.

good luck!
 


my 02 has clips in the bottom, maybe 5, then two or thee on top, then three bolts in the wheel wells then two on the bottom on each side then one thats hidden behind a cutout in the wheel well.
 
are you guys talking about the front fascia or entire bumper? fascia is connected and part of the bumper i thought....
 


I've found some a tutorial for putting on the Special edition air dam and replacing the fascia, but it goes into cutting tabs so I'm still not sure haha.
