Lower bumper removal on '14 RT Limited

[keys2heaven]

New Spyder owner. Just picked up a great used '14 RT Limited and noticed that the lower bumper (black section) on my Cognac bike has some pretty decent size chips. I'm touching these up with a touch up pen and, so far, working great.

I've got some 2000 grit wet paper that I'm going to use to try and knock off the edges (yes, have block) and build up the touch up to fill the holes. Probably need a 1/2 dozen of so coats and then clear/polish, etc.

Anyway, I snagged a new replacement lower bumper for $40. Question: How difficult is my life going to be in trying to remove this lower bumper section? I pulled out the pull out fasteners and looks like there are a few tab clips that need to be loosened. I'll need to remove the skid plate, but please tell me I don't have to remove the front end to do this job.

Any advice is appreciated!

REMOVAL

:gaah:....Sorry, but it may worse than that ....... send a PM to " PMK " I'm pretty sure He totally dis-mantled the front body panels for a project He did, so He could explain it best ...... Mike :thumbup:

I am no help with your project except to suggest that once you replace that part ..................... Put a Bumpskid on it from Spyderpops so you don't have to replace that part again.

Bumper

When you make the change instead of going with a bumpskid I would look at the new front bumper that Rivco just brought out. Will never hit your nose again.
