    Default Pace Car Front Bumper and Side Marker Lights

    I've never had to separate the actual cover from the header panel on a fox. Is it pretty simple? I know I can buy hardware kits with the correct (or similar) rivets, but is there anything else I need to know?

    I'm going to have to replace the base plates/inner lamp housings for the side marker lights, since both of mine are broken. My understanding is the bumper cover needs to come off the header panel. Correct me, if I'm wrong! I really hate messing with this stuff because the bumper assembly is in really good shape, compared to the rest of the car. Removing the front bumper assembly was a nightmare.

    I understand why you are hesitant to remove the cover. Drilling out the rivets and all.
    Can you try to remove all the screws and bolts from the back side and make the required room like that?
    Good luck.

    That may be possible. I'll take a close look at it today or tomorrow and see, but it didn't sound promising. If it's just a matter of drilling some rivets and then reattaching it with new rivets, then it might not be too bad. I just know these cars well enough to know they have "cans of worms" hidden in lots of places lol!
