Default Clear corners install ??

The "write-ups" for this install require front bumper removal; has anyone done this WITHOUT removing the bumper? Anything to look out for?

It's for a '07

Laterzzz...

NO u dont HAVE to

all i did was remove the cover underneath the front (where you change the oil)

Then you can get your hands in there enough to do it WITHOUT removing the whole front bumper or wheel wells

I installed mine without removing the front bumper it was easy on the driver side and the passenger side was alittle harder but worth it. I rather not take off the bumper.

how is it EASIER to remove the whole front bumper and then risk having it not line back up perfectly?

dont get me wrong its kind of a pain in the *** on the passenger side but i bought a bent screwdriver and got it right out.

Update, did the install today, took about 20 min!

You'll need a 10mm socket or wrench, two Phillips screwdrivers (a stubby and a small 5"~6").

I took the "easy way out", removed the "oil change" cover (10mm bolts and OEM fasteners) completely and then got access to the lenses.

I also raised the front of the car.
No biggie and worth it, looks fantastic on my '07 Carbon Silver car

Trust me, just undo the undercover, no need to even loosen the wheelwell covers, if you've got a buddy it helps, hell, even the wifey or gf will do!!

Raise the front of the car (ramps will do) so you can access the front undercover, think safety FIRST!!

It's all 10mm bolts and the "pop-out" type fasteners, took me and my brother 20min max to do it, he worked one side while I worked the other.
We used a combination of a small (5"~6") Phillips screwdriver and a "stubby" Phillips screwdriver for the lens holding screws.
Just be patient and "wiggle" them out once unbolted. Install is the same procedure in reverse order.

Hand tools: Phillips "stubby" screwdriver, Phillips 6" screwdriver, small flatblade screwdriver (for fasteners), 10mm socket with preferably a 1/4" drive or a 10mm box wrench (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN COVER BOLTS).

Hope this helps.

Laterzzz...

If you can't install reflecors you should not even own a bike. Quit being a nancy boy and do it.
