Default (UPDATE!!) put the new rear bumper on today and redid my tail lights.

the rear bumper took me like 6 hours to get it right and square. pain in the a$$ if you ask me but it will be worth it after i paint it. went ahead and took the lower strip out of my tail lights so they are just red and white now. here are some pics of my progress and will give another update this coming up weekend.



took me about an hour to get the bumper off



just taking a look trying to figure out whats the best way to tackle this thing



had to do MINOR trimming



and BAM! 6 hours later shes on



some minor body work and it will be ready to paint.



and last but not least the new tails that i decided to do today after i got enough of the heat. one on the left is the unfinished one. one on the right is sanded down with 1000 grit sand paper, polished, stuck in the oven and seperated to take out the red and yellow pieces.

any questions or concerns please let me know and kudos are nice as well

How long did it take you to remove your rear bumper? I have a 97+ OEM bumper that I'm looking to install and need a heads up so I can organize some time in the future.

id say it took me about an hour to remove. theres the round clips with these nipples in the middle dont break them! just twist it in the middle and it will come right out. 4 bolts on each side behind all the trunk lining. and your good 2 go
