Removing front and rear facias...
I am thinking to remove my facias to do a bit o' work on them, since it may be delayed for me to have funds to take her up to DMCNW for inspection and new suspension. Wondering if anyone had an easy to read diagram showing all the bolts to remove? I dont need to remove the impact abosrbers (hopefully)..just the facias.
Thanks

One of those purists you keep hearing about.
No diagram needed.
Remove tail lights
Remove closing plate for engine cover release and unhook cable. Remove metal clip from cable and pull cable out of the fascia.
4 via the visible L and R brackets (8 if you remove the bracket entirely) 13 mm
Possibly 2 from the inside of each pontoon into the closing plate (these are harder to get at, but you can remove your carbon canister and air intake in the pontoons for access) M7 IIRC. These vary.
6? x 10mm nuts along the bottom
2 x 10mm nuts hidden up the bottom sides , outside of the exults tips. Feel for them with your hands. They are tough to see.
I think that's it

You also need remove the side marker lights and feed the wires and bulbs into the fender. Also, dont forget to disconnect the black electrical connector in the corner of the engine bay as the tail light wiring harness will stay with the rear fascia.

Yeah, Dave.
What about the front? Always just half the work from you...
Actually - I really am curious. I've had the back off and it was pretty easy. Front... I have no idea where to start.

Hahah. This is for the burn on the other thread, isn't it?!
Front is tougher, removing the headlights and all that jazz. I haven't removed a front in a few years. To quote my grade 4 math teacher - "it's not hard, it's just more easy steps."
Over to you, Steve.

You have to remove the headlights? I had to change the lights once, and found it quite difficult to get a screwdriver between the fascia and lamp. It took a lot of time and muscle, but I finally got the screws out. I decided to leave the upper corner screws out. I thought I was doing it wrong and figured it would be easier to remove the fascia to change the lamps.
Due to the technique involved, it lead me to think that eyebrows are the direct result of removal/install of headlamps.

I wouldnt bother taking the front facia off, as I could repair it on the car...however, the right headlight bracket is loose or something, so I kinda have to take it off to see if I can repair that.
