off the stock bumper? not sure how it would look, the only thing im sure of is that i dont like front grills, pics would be nice. thanks

 

bump

 

it looks good espeacially if u have an intercooler behind it. i havnt done it but have seen it and it looks cool. im thinkin bout it just worried bout messin up my intercooler. anyone know how it will affect it? will it get messed up easily?

 

If it's the OEM bumper it's all one piece but with careful trimming you can remove it.

 

I cut mine out only to replace it with the billet grill.

 

I cut mine out.. use a dremel and be very patient.. I left the bumper on while doing it.. just be careful around the tow hook area.. there is a wire back there.. I think it's the thermometer or an airbag sensor..

 

Its the air bag sensor wire. DON'T CUT THAT.

 

Do you have any problems with rocks and stuff getting into your intercooler now?

 

no problems so far..but my car is not really a daily driver..it's been about 12K miles since I cut it

 

No problems with mine. I used a new utility knife blade and carefully cut it out. Took about 5 minutes and the cut is very clean.

 

Hey guys when i wash my car can the intercooler get water or not.

 

It won't hurt it.

 

I spray some WD40 on it occasionally so it won't oxidize over time as easily...

Anyone without an intercooler done it?...i'd be curious to see how it looks

 

I know a local guy that did it here..

hmm...looks kinda good, but i'd have to see it in person...would a performance radiator make it look better?

 

I heard the early, early 2003 models you were able to remove the grill by unscrewing a couple of screws because it was not molded to the bumper. Can anyone confirm?

 

^ i have a '03 (although it may not be an early '03) and i didn't have screws attached. mine was attached to the bumper and i had to cut it out.

i also painted the tow hook section black so it would be so noticable.

 

Whoops, I went back to check the conversation I had it it is the yeo side panels on either side of the grill that you can unscrew off. Not the grill itself.

 

I have an early 03 and no you can't. BTW thats a huge improvement on looks of the stock bumper.
