Default clear turn signals and maybe some grille painting

How much of a job is it to remove the front bumper to get the lights out (if im doing it by myself)? any specific tools i will need? Oh and for the headlights has anyone made there own clears to replace the orange up there. what about write ups and how to's?
ok and my other concern is the grille
i have the old five bar one and i feel like it never looks clean. what are you guys doing to keep them so clean. what about painting it? or should i just put off the whole job and wait till i can buy the newer 3 bar grile and just swap it in while im in there.

Default There are plenty of write up's.. Check Steves page.. or do a search in just the TT forum

for bumper removal.

It's a pain in the *** to remove it! I would wait until you get the 3 bar grill..

Also remember your lights are sealed, they have to be heated up with a blow dryer to be pulled apart. Just fun stuff! heh

Default The nose removal isn't that bad. Do the grill and if you don't like it...

Just buy a new one later on to swap out. The nose removal is the easy part, the clear corners require a bit more work, especially if you plan on removing the orange reflector on the sides.
