HELP: Is there an easy way to remove the GT2 front radiator diffuser vent??

Hey guys,

Is there an easy way of removing the diffuser vent located between the hood and front bumper cover?

I am assuming the normal process is to remove the bumper cover, but I am curious if there is a shortcut.

I see the 4 torx screws that hold the diffuser to the bumper cover, but I can't get my fingers in between the two vents.

What's the secret guys?

Thanks

Hey, don't you have that thing off yet?

Unfortunately, I think you have to take the front bumper off. Check out my thread earlier about the install process. I would assume it's the same.

I must have removed 25 various screws (torx and phillips) to finally remove the front bumper cover and diffuser. It took me about an hour to remove everything, which wasn't too bad I think

Thanks Alex!
