Its really easy to take off the bumper. As for the cuda 2 bumper the garage will have to sand down the area on the top where the metal strip bolts to, where the hood is or it will not close all the way, corners are a little rough but very easy fix.. good luck with it.

thanx DP. yeah i put the little metal strip up to the Cuda 2 bumper and it looked like it fit pretty good. can't wait for it to go on . i'll have to try taking off the bumper again tomm. wont know about fitment until i get my CF hood. hopefully its same as stock.

ur lucky man, really. i was searchin around for the bolts for like 30 min... i didnt want to accidently unbolt the whole front end and have it kill me, but after u do it oncce its really not thats hard..... after u break the corner lenses and all, ur good.

so what's the result? did everything go good? or did someone die?
I broke a corner light too... HMA doesn't explain the removal well...

HMA SUCKSS!!! no i just put it all back together, although i am an idiot. i had it all apart and just didn't give it enough pull to come off. i was worried of something else braking. so i am a complete and uber DUMB@SS :dead::dead: ill try again l8r..... or actually my body shop guy will be the next one to remove it
