A quick question about installing bodykit bumpers - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #71995 4 posts Started by mgnt232
So i was reading through the how to remove bumpers and I know i can remover it, but then looking at the pictures I am not sure if i need to use new bolts where the fenders connect to the original front bumper-
I am adding pics from the how to to show which bolts I am talking about, is there like a "fixed" nut on the OEM bumper that the bolt from the fender connects to?
Not sure if I am making any sense lol, ask me questions.
PICS-

I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop- 6GC for Life ->Semper Fi<1994 Cupra :p 3sgte1995 Celica ST DD1969 Chevelle SSalllll balls. P2 approved!
You can recycle old bolts but you will need to spend some time aligning bumper to the rest of the car and drilling holes in the right places and right width so that those bolts can fit in.
