Front bumper guard removal

[Reverend]

Okay, im planning to change my Z to look more Euro for obvious reasons. I tried to remove bumper bolts from the bumper itself, firstly it seem to go okay but then SNAP and the screw went to 2 pieces. Am i "screwed" now? Cause it looks like those screws are attached to bumper and tightened by bolts. If they are, is there any way to redo that broken screw..? still got 3 other screws intact plus 2 on the sides, which came from fenders.

It's actually quite easy. I too removed my bumper over-riders.

To do this you will need to fully remove the bumper. You can do this by loosening the brackets in the grille area. If memory serves, there are 4 bolts total for the 2 brackets, and 1 bolt on each edge of the bumper.

Sounds to me like you are removing the bumper from the bracket itself. Leave the brackets on the bumper, but instead remove the brackets from the car. Let me know if that makes sense!

Yup. Try spraying pb blaster or something similar first to loosen the bolt. That way we don't run into the broken bolt problem again
