hi guys i need help on installing my reflectors. is there anyway i can install them without taking the front bumper off?

 

Honestly its a lot easier if you take the bumper bcuz there is 2 screws holding each reflectors, I thought it would be hard but it was easy as HELL just check the d.I.y page youll be alright.

 

You can install without taking off the front bumper, but its A LOT easier to just take it off

1. Lift the Z
2. Take off front bumper (bolts, screws, clips)
3. Unscrew original reflectors
4. Screw on new reflectors
5. Put front bumper back on (bolts, screws, clips)
6. SLOWLY drop the Z

Took me about 10-15 minutes total.

Good luck

 

i just did this last night... i ended up not taking the bumper off but just taking the wheel liner out and installing with a short stubby screwdriver. Took me 30 mins for the passenger side and 10 mins for the driver's.

 

thanks!!!

 

uh using search function would be nice being that this has been asked a billion times and their are plenty of write ups on this

 

Or take tire off and peel back the edge of the wheel liner makes it super easy too.

 

I agree taking off the front bumper was the easiest way I found. Someone mentioned lifting the front end of the car but I didn't need to. Good luck with the install.

 

Take off the bumper. While it may take 5 or 10 more minutes, it's much less frustrating.

 

Just take the front bumper off. I thought it was stupid and I would just pop the wheel off, and peel back the liner. About an hour later with scraped up hands, me and my friend both said "you know....we would've been done in like half the time if we had just taken the bumped off".

If there is one thing this car has taught me, its that if you try to take shortcuts, it almost always ends up taking twice the time. Just take the bumper off.

 

Just take the bumper off. It'll end up being easier and a better route.

 

I just did mine with removing the tire and not taking the bumber off. Prob about the same amount of time if not 5-10 minutes less.

 

same here. if you've got the right tools you can finish it fast.

 

Drivers Side is a Piece of Cake With the Wheel linner Removed .. But the Passenger side has the windshield washer reserve real close to the side refector screws , and you have to use a real stubbie "little" philips head screw Driver that makes it a lot more challenging & time consuming than the drivers side ...

 

Agentman, WTF is with the brembo decal on the stock non-brembo caliper?

That is fail defined. Please say thats not your car.

 

 

Ha! Busted

 

hahahaha should have just bought the Endless brake covers and just take out all the tabs on the top of the bumper.. take out the bottom two screws on each side then take out the fender bolts on the bumper and just pull it forward a little bit

 

I'm gonna agree with everybody else on here and say take the bumper off. I took mine to a fellow Z owners house to do it and we took the front bumper off. He said when he did it, he just did it from underneath and it took twice as long (bigger guy, not as much dexterity as some of us). Front bumper comes off VERY easily, much easier than a lot of cars that I've worked on.
