Hi, i'm new here and am going to be replacing my bumper with a GT one to add duel exhaust. I was wondering if anyone has done this and remembers the size of the socket needed? I know its metric, and I think 11mm but I wnat to be sure before I guy one.
Thanks

I can't remember the size for sure, but it's a pain.

There's a metal bracket that you'll have to move from the stock bumper to the GT bumper. I used small bolts, but I've heard others re-riveting the bracket in.

There are 4 screws in the trunk that are kind of hard to get too.

Search the forum for better instructions on how to do it, I know they've been posted in this section.
