Re: Removing the front bumper

I just took mine of about a few months ago for a similar reason.

First, I had to remove all the ground effects off of mine, an '82, so I'd start there.

First crash, how to repair?

Hi,
Long story short, I was going over a bridge a few days ago when I hit a patch of ice. Started to spin at around 45mph, so my best guess would be I hit the oncoming guard rail at around...
