bumper to fender, many of us have snapped them if not extremely careful.Thanks for motivation and tips and are you speaking of tabs that hold wheel liner or tabs that hold bumper to fender.
Cool I was gonna use a lift to get to all those bolts under the splash shield but you were able to get to them without lifting car?The 2018? It's easy. They changed the corners so there are no longer the horrifuckbad snap-in clips people kept breaking on the 15-17s. There are just 2 10mm nuts on each side and I found it way easier to take them off through the hood area. I have pretty big arms/hands but I was able to get mine in there. Look past the headlight along the fender and you should see them down there. There are 2 nuts on either-side of a ribbed plastic pin.
I took them off from the top through the hood without dealing with the wheel well (you can finger-twist them off once loose so you don't drop them) and then push the black ribbed piece through. You can collect that piece once the bumper is off to reinstall it.
No jacks, no ramps, wheels left on. Hell, my biggest issue taking it off was not having a 5.5mm socket (in multiple sets of sockets) so I had to use a small pliers for those 2. I was nervous about putting on my Roush fascia on the '15 and taking off the '18 as well but the '18 was simple comparatively.
I actually left the splash shield on. I was going to try getting it off that way with my car on the ground in my garage but just said "screw it" and took off all of the 7mm screws on the splitter. I actually think it was a better decision on my part because I was able to then sit behind the bumper and take my grill out without sitting on and possibly damaging the shield. It took a little finagling to get it back on that way, but once I got 1-2 screws in per side the rest went in with no trouble. Actually the hardest part of putting it back on was aligning my Velossa Big Mouths.Cool I was gonna use a lift to get to all those bolts under the splash shield but you were able to get to them without lifting car?
