I will have to post pics sometime, I think what they mean is to remove the bolts holding top of fascia as removing the cover alone grants you no access. I would pry off but there is nowhere for the clips to fall through as it’s all covered and if they are galvanized and get up against the radiator, it will cause corrosion. I need smaller hands and arms.
This is more complex than it needs to be! LOL I have the black GT badge on the rear and the 5.0 on the sides. Those were easy compared to this.

I do think they mean the cover and then the bolts??

I think I will have to go out and explore around a bit.

I think whatever they mean has changed for the 2018 compared to the 2015-17s so you guys are forging the path on that.

Did a track day yesterday. It had a little of everything, Fog in the morning, Rain during the midday and finally some sun at the end of it.
I Loved the challenge that the weather gave us. It kept us on our toes and provided for some track antics. That and a 560 HP Brat-burner on my 6.

Overall, a great day...:headbang:

How big of a job was that? Wiring harness required or is it simply remove and replace ?
There is an entire thread in the infotainment.

Here is what you should find below the radiator cover. I did take out the bumper bolts as well and try that but I could barely get a finger to fit through there. Also tried the radiator bracket method to loosen and pull radiator assembly towards engine. If I had a slim armed person I could make that work.

Hopped on the Gates Green belt bandwagon for my Procharger.

My old Autozone belt was a little too long, this one is slightly shorter so I was able to just barely get it on by hand and didnt have to tighten the tensioner as far down as before.

Not expecting to gain any performance from it but you never know.






I really need to clean my engine bay

Finally had some time to try out wrapping the roof. Not bad for first try doing vinyl, but not perfect. Learned a lot and will do much better next time. Roll was only $38 so not a huge loss. Will have to bribe girlfriend to help me again, since it was like 2 hours of torture for her :headbonk: Mirrors are next.
