    I need to refinish my front nose. Is there a thread or link for some tips for removing and restoring?

    See this thread http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...ght=front+nose I know this is for an earlier model but it should be about the same. I believe the newer ones had pop rivets on top that you have to deal with.

    Do you need to remove the bumper cover from the headlight reinforcement or just from the vehicle?

    The removal from the vehicle is pretty straight forward.

    Removal from the reinforcement is not difficult either, but you need to be careful not to damage either pieces.

    Not to hijack, but I just took off the nose and fenders as one piece, and a couple of the studs that thread into the fiberglass reinforcement are un-threading on the fiberglass side, rather than the nut coming off the proper end... is there a trick to making this work??? I don't want to ruin the cover or reinforcement, they are in very nice condition, and I want to sell or re-use them...

    Thanks,
    Joe Correia.
