I'm not saying anyone is a girly man for wanting two people to take it off heh, I just think it's a bit paranoid, and/or you should look at your technique.

Or you may be a girly man.
Or become a true DIYer and go about it with no ***** given. Only about 70% of bolts and fasteners installed on a car are actually needed anyways.

I'm fairly sure one fastener disappears almost every time I take that bumper off lol.

Whatever, "garage prose", you guys are so good at things and stuff. I'm super impressed.

It is an easier job with two people, because moving an object of that length is easier with two. Knowing the dimensions and seeing where you're going. Holding the object in a more stable fashion.

And unless you're able to physically teleport from one side of the car to the other, it is faster for a second person to be popping in clips.

It is not rocket surgery, whether it is done by one's self or with a friend, but it is faster and easier with someone else there, even if marginally so.

It's not that big, so holding it by myself is not a problem. I don't know what you're talking about.

And you can stand in the middle and use your wingspan to get both sides at once. Or just work on one side, then go to the other... then get to the middle... then pop it off.

I've done it so many times I don't understand how it's easier with two.

Also, I've removed my front bumper many times myself and it was never a problem. I never thought, "man, this would be easier with two."

I will contend that it is SLOWER with two because you have to account for the time spend fighting with the help.

Also, you can stare dreamily into each others eyes, as you flex your leg muscles in unison.

I know, you're so bad azz. I'm surprised they don't have a Chuck Norris movie about you.

If they did, they could call it Delta Fgt

Also, easiest way to take off front bumper: telephone pole!

It took a blink of an eye, really!

And, to be fair, it does cause scratching.
