After reading a lot on this subject I decided to go ahead and do mine... I used the you tube video as a guide and it took all of 10 - 15 minutes to remove the front bumper. The only trouble was getting at the verticle screws behind the side markers. Once I got to the rads I couldnt believe the buildup between the rads... it was caked on solid as well as having twigs and leaves in there...Used a garden hose to rinse them out and got them perfectly clean. Took 15 minutes or more per side to get all of the built up crap off the rads...
Putting the bumper back on was a snap.. even by myself.. I used the top front two bolt holes (by the hood release) to keep the bumper in position while I worked on the sides and underneath to line everything up. Took about 15 minutes to get it put all back together and now runs cooler for sure...
While I had the bumper off, I took off the grills, repainted them black, then added mesh covers to keep the bigger debris out in the future.
While I was at it, I installed my Escort 9500CI radar sensor and jammers and with the black mesh grills, you cant see them at all!!!
Very happy with the final result... it is not a difficult job so dont be afraid to tackle this on your own...Thanks to the forum for having so much information available to allow us to do these projects on our own!!!
