Bumper removal/HID installation

[jmicha3l]

So I installed my HID kit a few days. The thing is that I have about 2clips and 3-4bolts left from removing/installing my bumper. The bumper is still a little shaky. I was wondering how much would it cost to go to nissan and rebolt my bumper/headlight unit?

They usually charge labor by the hour. You're looking at $80-$120 just to bolt everything up even though it'll take them 20-30 minutes. That's just how they do it.

How did you end up with all those pieces left anyway? Can you not find where they bolt up to?

It isnt a good job unless you have extra parts!!

Yeah I would take it to a licensed body shop or back to the dealer to bolt it up. Or find the diagram post that I believe is in these forums. I think it has where all the bolts go.

haha yes i do find that funny... i think if you brought the car to the dealership to put on some few bolts, they would laugh at you haha

somewhere on this forum, someone posted a diagram for all the bumper clips and screws for the coupe, not sure if the sedan and coupe are the same though... to lazy to find.

when i installed my HIDs, there was 6 screws and 5 clips at the bottom. 8 clips on top of the bumper, 3 screws apiece for each headlight, and the 2 bolts for the fenders, if i remmeber correctly. well good luck.

Yeah I can, but taking the bumper off alone is a ***** and id rather have someone do it for me. This was my first time doing this. Never again. haha

This is a good reason why you should seperate all the bolts according to where they came from...so you know where everything goes when putting it back together hahaha......goodluck dude...

yeah... i had a problem with my 42" lcd (in the house, not in the car lol) and the tech took the whole thing apart in my kitchen.. had to be 4 layers deep and around 40 different screws... not 1 extra... anyone can take something apart, the hard part is putting it together so nobody knows!
