Re: how to take front clip off? painting

easy.

from the bottom:

1)remove the airdam and both splash guards.
2)remove the fasteners along the center edge of the facia.
3)reach up inside the front fender and remove the 3 nuts on the metal plate the holds the fender to the nose at the body seam. Repeat for the other side.
4)remove the 2 screws that goes into the headlight bar from underneith. 1 on each side directly under the headlights

from the top:

1)remove the screws along the edge of the headlight bar along the front center edge
2)remove the corner nuts, one in each corner where the outboard headlight meets the edge of the nose

now, lift off the bumpercover.

Are you doing it yourself? If not, how much is going to cost you about?
