I will take some pics of the connectors for you. I had to cut and splice ones from the plastic bumper in order to work.

As for the back, I have to wait till my next days off to go to pick and pull to get one. I heard that you have to cut approx. .25" off and then plastic weld it back together. Kinda sounds difficult. Anyone know if this is true?


Thanks for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

That is NOT true for a cabrio. All cabrios have lower rear arches and plastic bumpers are a direct bolt-on. Sort of. Some people have used the rear sliders, but the cleanest way is to bolt the front of each bumper to the car. Look for a cabrio plastic bumper writeup I did a while back.

Actually,it was brilliot Red when I got it from Mattle30. I had to prep and paint both the valance and bumper. I now need to touch up on the trim since I did a bad job masking it off and got some overspray.

Its a easy swap if you have all the parts. Just hackoff the tow hooks and splice the new wiring for the front turn signals and your set.
