Bumper removal

So just a tip for anyone out there who is planning on removing their bumper, dont do it when its cold. I was trying to remove my bumper and managed to break 2 of the clips on the side of the bumper then broke one of the clips on the headlight support/bumper support. The instructions online just said pull, but even at around 50 degrees in my garage the plastic is still brittle. Just a lesson learned... On a side topic, HID retrofit coming soon.

Use a small flathead to untab the clips under the headlight. Just dont press against the bumper

That is actually what I did. The tab broke before I it cleared the bumper. oh well I am hoping some glue can at least mend it for the time being.
