How Difficult Is It To Install A GT Rear Bumper?

emperorx1984 · September 7th, 2006, 09:54 PM

Got my GT rear bumper, painted and ready to go. I would have my auto shop guy do it but I wanted to try it myself. So how hard is it to do?

not very difficult, taking the original off can be a pain because there are around 20 attaching points. there are 2 screws along each wheelwell on either side, 2 brackets that can be undone through the trunk on either side... then about 6 bolts on the back edge under the trunk latch and finially under the car are supports, about 4-5, that are held on with these push-through retainers. i dont know if you need them again for the GT bumper but they are easiest to just cut off if u dont need to reuse them.
all in all, they are not too hard to take off but takes a lil looking.
i found that the manuals at auto zone or whereever show alot of this kinda handy stuff.

yeah kerry is right on that. its not very difficult at all. the biggest pain is getting those push-though retainers out. i cut mine just like kerry. i have a 96 but the bolts are all the same.
