      I got it out. Hard to explain, but those black braces(on the inside of the bumper that snap into the actual frame of the car) snapped in order to get it off - the plastic had expanded to big to fit out of the holes they originally went in to. Good to go now, just gotta superglue those black braces to the bumper.

      Yup grab the corner your removed the screw from and pull it away from
      The body. Continue to pull out around the headlights. Then the bumper should pop loose. These areas have clips that help keep the bumper up in place.

      Just man up and pull on it.
      The first bumper removal is pretty rough.
      It's been sitting there, bolted on once, and weathered for about 8-9 years.
      It's not a high precision piece out of a metal, it's plastic which changes quite a lot through the heat, and cold.

      Pull on it!

      Weathering was definitely a big part of it, there was 2 of us pulling on that thing! I ended up going in through the wheel well and hammering out those black supports. Going out to put the bumper back on now

      Remove screws under bumper and the undercarriage liner. Then the clips on the bumper. That should be it really. Pull the side of the bumper out towards you, should come off with a little force. If it's stuck on something try and figure out what it is and remove it.

      Got it. I ended up having to go in through the wheel well and break off those black plastic braces that the bumper snaps into - that led to a bunch of other problems, but anyways heres a pic!

      Nice work! Are you running halogens for now or what? The hard part is the retrofit...

      I just kept the bulbs it came with in. I'd like to get an HID kit in the future - is that what you mean by retrofit? Kinda new to all this...I thought retrofitting was just a general term for modding the stock housing.

I guess I know you now, but I've seen a VBP EP3 in the area. The only VBP EP I've ever seen in person. I dont know who drives that. Also, the first EP3 I ever saw at CCM6-7? It's black with white rims. Thats where I got my inspiration from.
      Where are the dallas EP's?

      Generally, Ben will set up a meet. We've only had one meet so far though for the DFW EP3s.
