Uhm...had the bumper off for a while and now I can't remember where all the bolts go  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  Anyone know what I'm missing...

5 plastic clips on top of the bumper, under the hood. I still have 3 of these left, where do they go?

2 screws inside the fenders.

4 screws holding the underside of the bumper to the inner fenders.

3 screws holding the bumper to diaper (and 2 bolts holding the diaper to car + 1 plastic clip)

4 screws holding the rear lights in place and 4 screws holding the licence plate cover and the plate itself


Now I still have 5 bolts which are about an inch and black/dark. There would be 4 matching places under the rear lights, but were these really this long? And where does the 5th go?

Or am I confusing some bolts here  s:? :? s:?
Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

Still wondering about the 5th mystery bolt though  s:? :? s:?
(could be that it's from somewhere else and just got into a wrong pile)

Too early in the morning for me to help!

The four inch long bolts do help to hold the bumper, two on these little "flaps" with the bolt going sideways.  I remember only four, so maybe the fifth is an extra.

That's what happens when you leave bolts alone in the dark...

Well...yes and no  s8) 8) s8)  It shows I have installed all the clips/bolts/screws shown in the pic, but the mystery remains...


I think those bolts are breeding. I have 4 similar leftovers from front bumper  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
(Spydermagazine had a nice article about front, so I'm sure I got them all)

Mystery solved  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

Those 4 were actually from the rear lights...and those 5 were from the drivers side storage bin floor  s:? :? s:?

If you're already worried, I guess I shouldn't take pics of the car or the garage  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
