New AMV8 vert Owner F/R Bumper Removal DIY

[Mvested]

Hey guys n dolls!!

Just picked up an 07 AMV8 vert! She's a true beaut, I'll post up pics later this evening..

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have removed either the front and/or rear bumpers and if so how difficult it is? Do you happen to have instructions or link to DIY? Anyone have a shop manual?

I truly appreciate any help you guys. Thank you so much.

Again, thank you so much baldyash!

I hope I'm not asking too much but you wouldn't happen to have the same for headlight removal? I would truly appreciate it.

Again, thank you!
