How do you take the bumpers off?
I have a body kit en route and I have yet to figure out how to take the front and rear bumpers off of my Neon. I'm used to taking the bumpers off of my 77 Porsche, but not a modern car.
0. You may want to disconnect your NEG terminal.
1. Open hood.
2. Pull out the 3 clips that hold on the grill. (6 parts)
3. Unscrew the the headlights. (2 long, 2 short bolts)
4. Unscrew the 3 bolts that also hold down the top grill part.(3)
5. Go to the bottom of the bumper, and unscrew the 3 that look like the 3 above.
6. You may want to jack up the car. Get the 2 screws out of each fender well's splash guard. (4 total)
7. Pull the clips out that hold the splash guard in. (4 total)
8. Pull back the splash guard and look at the fender and bumper seam. Unscrew the 3 bolts there.(6 total)
9. Pull down and hold on.
10. Unplug the fog lights and the side markers.
11. Now the bumper should be off.

LOL, no problem. You can actually see the bolts and turn the ratchet more than one click at a time as well.
