About two years ago HardcoreZ28 said it would take me 2 hours to pull the front clip off. I had those words in my head when I set out to do just that.

Three hours later, knuckles bleeding, hot, tired and really pissed off, I pulled it. I don't want to do that again anytime soon. And I still have the rest of the ground FX to pull and replace.

The pics speak for themselves - apparently there was a front end collision, with the bumper, hood and cover replaced or repaired. You can tell because of all the red painted stuff underneath. Someone actually repaired the spot around the foglights, but then cracked again when I moved the car around. I found tape and resin on the inside of the old bumper cover.

Before (This is before all the damage to the GFX around the foglights from moving he car around. The GFX around both fog lights are completely cracked.)

During

and After. Now I need to realign the hood and I have no idea how to do that.
