front nose removal?
 
Just wondering how difficult it is to remove the front bumper cover from the front of my lt1 I want to touch up the paint and try and get it to fit alittle better thanks.

Simple I've done it about 4 times just the clips are obnoxious take out the headlights makes it easier to get at some bolts

Really not hard, I could prob have both side fenders and nose off in an hour or two. just a bunch of bolts, the bumper support really does its job when putting it back on.

Id say changing the oil is harder then pulling the nose lol

lswon is Far different then LT1. Lt's Suck but arent that bad. more trouble you will have is with the old rusted/rotted bolts attaching the bumper to the fender/bumper side support brackets.

Didn't know the noses differed that much, and yea I did break a bunch of bolts on the bottom of the nose lol

yea i know its been off atleast once and replaced because it has shitty paint and its missing the camaro emblem from the center of the nose so i believe its an aftermarket pos. but thanks for the tips. is it easier to change the fog light bulbs with the nose off too?
