the rockers were easy, just like some of the forums about installing them said...



i put those one 2 weeks ago, i had the back bumper but my dad wanted me to wait for him to put it on..glad i did b/c it was toughish...here is what it looks like with the bumper off..


and here is with it on :)

Nice car. How hard / long did it take you to install the rear bumper?

it took me about 1 and a half hours to do the rear bumper. It does take patience tho. And you have to have the correct tools to do it. I forgot what it was called, luckily i had it in my garage. But its like a nut-nail gun or something like that lol.

Dude, your ride looks sick!!!!  I was going to keep the black rockers, and get black rims....but damn, I may have to re-think that!  The all Satin Silver looks amazing! 

Peace!

Can you still do it without the gun?

Looks awesome man... and 1.5 hours?!  It took me like 20 minutes to replace my rear bumper!  You don't need a special tool, all you need is a dremel :)

    Sure can. Take a peek at my GT bumper install "How To" in the appearance section. Take the rivets out simply by drilling them out, and replace them with nuts and bolts if you don't have a pop rivet gun. If I remember correctly, you'll need to do this for the wiring harness on the two lights on the lower flanks of our bumpers. The GT bumper you guys buy will most likely NOT come with this harness, so you'll have to bring it over from your V6 bumper.
