Default Removing Body Panels

I am going to start work on the S this weekend, mouting i/c and what not.

I am going to pull the front bumper, and perhaps the fenders as well.

Any secrets/tips/hints to getting them off.

I know on my 99 Si, the bumper was held on by 2 screws and 6 pushpins that pulled off in 30 secs.

for the bumper
there are 6 screws up top... 2 at the fenders (one on each side), then 8 on the bottom connecting the skid plate piece

sounds like you want instructions on how to remove panels, not "tips, secrets or hints". just sayin...

do you have a shop manual for the car? If not, you really should get one.

lol...any little bit of info helps. Of course I can fumble around and find them, I was just curious if anyone would be nice enough to help a fellow s2k'r out and say, "look under xyz to find said screws/etc."


Smoke:
I didn't buy a kit, but already picked up the injectors/pump/manifold/wastegate/intercooler.

I am going tonight after work to look @ a used 30r to see if it is fact what I need.

Not planning to do the full install until sometime late February, but I can get started on hanging the i/c and moving the battery, stuff like that.

I do things in steps, to minimize the amount of work I have to do.

Work smart, not hard.

I have fender covers when working, but learned my lesson when I worked on the Si, it ended up with a few small dents/ripples..so I figure I will just pull the fenders off completely to keep from dinging them up.
