Is there any how to's or links of removing the front bumber and side skirts?
Ill need to test fit my new bumber this week, so i can then prep it for paint.

 

Ok, no one replyed, so i dug and dug and found this.

FOR THE FRONT:

1. Turn your wheel all the way to the right.
2. Go to the left side, pull the plastic fender cover away from the bumper.
3. There will be 3 silver screws inside the well, Unscrew each of them.
4. Repeat process except on the other side.
5. Go along the bottom with a 10mm and remove each of the screws holding the bottom plastic to the bottom of the bumper. theres about 10 i think. maybe 15
6. Pop the hood, and remove each of the tabs holding the bumper to the metal.
7. The bumper will practically fall off at this point, so just remove it.

SIDE SKIRTS:

1. Pop the tabs and unscrew the screws where each side of the skirt meets the fender, there are 2 at each fender.
2. Go along the bottom and unscrew the bolts with a 10mm along the trim line underneat the car, there are like 10 bolts here too.
3. The skirt is held on by these pop rivet things, so you have to work your way from one end of the skirt to the other, unpopping each rivet. IT WILL BE LOUD. DONT WORRY
4. Repeat for the other side.

 

I tryed the above, for the front it was better to remove the front wheels, so you can remove (3) black plastic pop rivits. This way the fender cover will be easyer to move out of the way.

 

Thanks for your feedback James, i will be installing my Nismo V2 front bumper myself when it comes back from the paintshop this week or next, so the feedback is very welcome.

Roughly how long did it take you to do the swap?
