Hi All,
Ive done a search on Rennlist and here and could not find a definitive DIY on getting rid of the front bumperettes other than "take it to a body shop"

From what I understand, I will need new L/R grills as there will be a hole and there is a mounting hole on the bumper as well. Is there anything else that Im missing?

 

There is no good solution other than buying a bumper without warts.

 

Agree I would replace bumper.

 

Welp, guess its time to add that to the to-do list. I'll just mount the stock bumper in the garage like a trophy.

 

RED, where are you in AZ? Im moving to East Valley in two weeks.

 

Might compare and contrast the price from the body shop and to buying a new bumper. Just a thought.

I'm in the East Valley. More specifically, Tempe

 

There's a front bumper for sale in the marketplace. Buy that and repaint. I just had mine repainted for ~$600. This included getting rid of the license plate holder and smoothing the entire bumper as well removing and reinstalling.

 

Thats where the place Im trying to rent out is. Im going to be working in East Valley for Banner Health.

Im trying to rush to get this place as the apartment I thought I was getting ended up dicking me around and trying to change the move in dates and rent on me after I put the deposit down.

 

Yeah, I saw that. The SF one? Unfortunately he is hesitant about shipping it.

 

If you need a body shop in AZ, I'd recommend Elwood Body Works

 

Thanks! Ill check them out when I get in. I have that Strosek wing from the PP group buy that needs painted and my daily (IS300) needs a little love as well. Brooklyn was not kind to it

 

I had mine filled and repainted from a buddy with a body shop for ~$300. Still have yet to replace my grills I sprayed the metal support behind black and it hasn't bothered me enough to spend $400+ on the wartless grills.
