This video is short and sweet, basically followed this to the 'T' to remove the bumper:



I thought/felt the bumper removal was easy, about an hour to get off taking my time. I had the help of my wife/kids to remove it off which helped, I'd say having a second set of hands to get it off and back on is helpful.

Worst part was getting the air ducts in - that took longer than the bumper removal. I think there is a spot where the black plastic is glued to the actual body panel - so you don't want to harm that, so a lot of bending gently to get the air ducts in place.

I had the ebay air ducts PPF'd prior to install, and I feel the quality and fitment is spot on.

Looks great! Good you had some help! Yeah, as you described, definitely some challenging spots, that’s why patience is needed, along with a cold one🍻

One thing is there is a gap under this area, it will end up collecting a lot of dirt/debris from the road! Not sure if the OEM Carbon Fiber versions are the same….

Thanks for the pics! Does the gloss black finish match the OEM grill?
