Nothing that a plunger can't take out. lol. You going to get a new stock one or try to replace it with a aftermarket.

I popped the hood and it looks like the bumper is .5" away from the intercooler, so hopefully not. Then I tried to shut the hood and it didn't want to shut...so the radiator support may have to be replaced.

Being that there are very few aftermarket bumper available and none that really wow me...stock.


I actually think this is a pretty clear sign it's time to part the car out. Too much bad **** has happened with this car.

Thanks for making me laugh, guys. It truly is a sad day... I have the rear diffuser and rear addons off already. From lip is next. Not sure if I'll get to the side skirts tonight.
