i just wanted to say how stupid i thought the three screws, in front of the radiator, that hold the front bumper on are. On bot hmy other rexes they stripped, this time i was intent on getting them off clean. So, i got the right sized screwdriver and i hosed them down TWICE with liquid wrench! but noooooo they stripped anyways.. anyone else a fan of those stupid screws? it seems lke they are made out of some pretty cheesy metal cuz it doesn't take much to strip em. i just got yee ol drill out and took care of it.. next time i go straght for the drill.
someone tell me there is a logical reason for them being as useless as they are?

lol,
you mean those really big philips screws for the bumper cover, lol, i dont think they're meant to come back out.
everybody always tries to take the bumper right off and get em out, but its just not gonna work, i dont see why they couldnt use a bolt or something, cause theres less of a chance that you'll strip that
they never learn, do they?
