    Word of advice to DB owners

    If you EVER plan on changing your bumpers, DO NOT tuck them.

      Cause it is a fucking bitch to get them off if they are tucked nicely.

              actually I believe the front one is very hard to get off when they are tucked. The rear is still easy. You basically can't get to the bumper shocks. On the back the bumper shocks are easily reached. Kinda.

                Yeah, I thought the same exact thing after I finished tucking mine. I did my front bumper the wrong way, kind of, and it was hard enough getting back on. (Took a little persuasion by me and a buddy) I figured if I do a plastics swap, I'll just take it off however possible.

                EDIT: The rear is actually easily accessible. *^Shit, you beat me to it.

                  notch the bumpers on the bottom before you put them back on after a tuck....so you can get a wrench in there....

                      They DO un-tuck still.... My old car, I could yank them out by hand with enough effort.

                          You beat me to it. I was getting frustrated pulling my db's off when I got the stroke of genius to yank them out and un-tuck them.

                              This. My old DB car was super easy to tuck and un-tuck. I had that bumper on and off a dozen times, never had an issue.
