There is no easy way, removing a 2G bumper is a total whore. Every time I have to do it I just start taking crap off until it just starts to hang there. It's not a fun ob at all. Good choice on the griffin tho, a friend of mine here does custom intercoolers and he used to use griffin cores but now uses Spearco due to the drastic price increases from griffin.

You don't have to take those bolts out unless you are removing the headlights. To take the bumper off take out all the bolts that hold it on. The only thing left holding it on should then be the plastic screws under the head lights. Break those with a screw driver. They don't don't do anything. I put mine back on with out them and it's fine. I think that's all you have to do( it's been a while since I took the bumper off the first time.)

no sugarcoat - it is a #@%#@%#@%#@%ing #@%#@%#@%#@%#@%.

i take it on and off frequently, and it holds quite well with 7 bolts. (5 on the top, two by the sidemarkers)

sags a little, but #@%#@%#@%#@%it. if you have to break some, dont fret it.

Hey Shawn, I'm in Davie too. I'd love to see it when you're done. Or even before, to get a good look at that Griffin core to see how it would fit in the grill opening, since I also have a 98 GS-T.
