Is there a DIY on how to remove the front strut bar?
I wanted to take it off and paint it. Removing it seems pretty easy and looks like just a couple of screws but i wanted to make sure exactly how to do it before i mess anything up.

Nothing will happen if you remove it... just don't drive the car without the strut bar.

The whole front end will collapse once the bar is removed. Ever played Jenga?

Getting the clap is one thing, but did you make it clap after getting the clap?
