How thick is the foam behind the grill? I'm planning to add some driving lights across the top of the grill, and it would be great to know how much I'll need shim them to make it all flush, or if they're going to sticking out a bit no matter what I do.

Thanks xsnipersgox for the video, it helps a lot

any one know if there is a torque spec for the bolts? or just tighten it to whatever you feel is tight?

It is a bumper, not an engine!! Enough so they won't rattle out, not too much that you strip the threads. You need to calibrate your wrist

Cheers,

Would I be able to drive with my front bumper removed for a short period of time without the worry of objects falling off? Thanks for the help guys!

I wouldn't advise it. Without the bumper to support the front if it, the under tray will probably deflect or flap in the wind at any normal driving speed. That's pure supposition on my part from considering it while my bumper was off.

Maybe someone has actually tried it?

be carefull of spiders when doing this, came across 2 red backs when pulling mine off. best bet is to spray some mortein up in there before you get started

What the hell. Where do you live dude. Must've taken my front bumper off a dozen times, never seen a spider.
