Hey guys, long time since i posted last, but once again i call on your advice.

I got rear ended last valentines day and i still havent repairedmy rear reinforcement bar. Im planning on doing it this weekend since i got my new replacement for it. I just wanted to know if there are any snaggs with taking it off or if any of u have any suggestions to make the process go quick.

thanx guys.

 

Not really, it's pretty straightforward, sometimes the 10mm bolts in the trunk area like to break, but there's enough of them that it doesn't matter. Good luck mang

 

hey i got bumped in the back to, the only thing is my bumper is just a little uneven would i have to replace it or just line it back up?

well just send me a private message and let me know

 

Post pics up in this thread and we'll be able to tell.

 

i go to school out of town, i dont have my car up here with me.

 

so i fixed the bumper, i have pictures on my phone, i need to get them to the comp one way or another, but my bar was ****kkkkkkkkkkkked, the bar actually pushed in my trunk latch and crushed the license plate lighting wires between the chassis and reinforcement, and it still worked all these months .

i had some mile trouble getting 1 of the 4 bolts holding the reinforcement up because the nut had become de-welded so i applied some friction to the bumper by standing on it and it came out. When i put the new bumper bar on, the bolt holes pretty much lines up perfect, i just had trouble with one of the wholes being a quarter inch off or so, but i muscled it into place.

everything else went on without a hitch.

this project tookme 2.5 hours, impressive to say the least. On a scale of hardness 1-10 i give this a 3. Pretty straight forward, no real snaggs.

if anyone is attempting to take their rear bumper off contact me and ill give u the DL on all of the lil snaggs that may get you so u dont get frustrated.
