Default Is there an easier way to install smoked corners?

I know the normal way is having to take the front bumper off but is so difficult and time consuming for two pieces of plastic. Does anyone no an easier way?

I would greatly appreciate the help

If your talking about the ones in the bumper you can turn your front wheels and pull back the plastic on the driver side. You will have to get the passenger side from the underneath the front lip because there are some items blocking you going in from the wheel well on that side.

So yes it can be done.

I love how you had the time to post a "question" in the DIY forums without reading the sticky on top of the page on how no questions are allowed to be posted there. Otherwise, almost every new thread would end up there (think about it).

In my opinion, after installing clear bumper reflectors myself, it is actually less aggravating to remove the front bumper than it is to try to blind-assemble the reflectors by reaching in through the wheel well or from under the bumper.

Wink Take the bumper off...

I know it seems like a hassle, but trust me, just take the bumper off. Make sure you have a friend help you with it to lay it down w/out scratching it.

If you have really thin long arms, I guess it might not be too hard. I used to lift (taking a year off to heal), so my arms are a tad big for small openings (like other parts of my body...lol).

GOOD LUCK!
