well there are going to be obvious nuts and bolts your going to have to remove, but the ones that aren't so easily noticed
are the ones underneath the license plate bezel, and the 2 on each side underneath the side panels... its a really easy job , just gotta make sure you get off all the bolts/nuts/and plastic rivet thingies. good luck man -------------------- NOVAKx17

I wouldn't try to do it in 45 minutes. I removed my fender and bumper last Saturday, I thought it'd be an easy job too. Easily turned into a 6 hour job

QUOTE (enderswift @ Jul 27, 2010 - 1:28 PM)  how did you manage to take 6 hours? alcohol was involved wasn't it? Nahhhh We had to take out the liner on both sides and the RH fender was BADLY crushed, so it took a bit to get around it. And we lolly-gagged for about 45 min to an hour talking to my neighbor about the '69 GTO sitting in his driveway. Agreed, it could've been done faster, but we had all day. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

once you know what your doing the process can take like 20 mins lol. I removed and put on my stock bumper prob 8-10 times, and i could easily grab exactly what i needed and have the bumper off in 10 mins lol.
Just take your time, the bolts are tricky sometimes, and will take a while but once its off, you'll look at it and go OH! im an idiot lol, and it'll go alot faster the other way
