Now is it just me, or is everything in the camaro a pain in the *** to get to or work on, besides like changing the oil. Like something as simple which I had to do today, as change the running light, light bulb?

 

tell me about it. I installed a billet grill the "right way," taking the old grill off cleanly and installed clear corners. In order to do that I had to take the whole bumper off which in hindsight isn't so bad but when you do it the first time and have no guide to tell you where the bumper is bolted on becomes a major pain in the ***. Took me many hours under the car to get this done. Wouldn't say I regret it though, the grill and the lights look clean and now I know more about my car. Plus saves you money from taking it to the shop and makes you feel like you accomplished something.

 

how did you take off you bumper. i just bought some new bumper lights, but cant figure out how to put them on. i guess i should have thought of that first, but whatever. is it really that big of a pain in the ***? or can i do it by myself in a couple of hours or less?

 

I bet you could do it in a half hour to 45 minutes. You have a to take the couple bolts on the radiator cores support off and there are brackets holding onto the fender. Remove the air shield below the bumper and then you have to take the bolts out for the wheel well and then you have about 3 bolts (on each side). 2 to the fender and 1 from the rest of the subframe to the bumper.
