Ready to race!
You guys really make me want to try this on my own! I'm definitely mechanically inclined... I tried to change my headlight bulbs and dropped both down into the plastic undercarriage/tray thing. I had to get help ... But I am super cheap and I would like to save a few hundred.
If youre mechanically inclined enough, do it. I did mine yesterday, and it took me, with the help of my wife holding things here and there, about 4 hours. Follow the DAP video step by step and it works pretty well. Seriously. Ive never taken a bumper off a car, or changed anything like this, but work with my hands for a living. Its not a horribly complicated job. Just take your time and follow the DAP video step by step (it helps if you have a tablet and pause it each step).
I forgot about using silicon spray, but I found that working the yellow clips helped. Pry the top one down and use the second screw driver to pry forward just a little big. Then hold that tension prying it forward and do the bottom and pull forward more. Then go back to the top, all while holding the tension on the prying screwdriver, and redo the top. That ended up working great for me on both sides.
I did however break the clips that hold the factory intercooler to the radiator. Those bastards are a tight clearance, but luckily, I have no plan to ever go back to the factory one.
