Mk3 Front Bumper Removal

[EdmondBreaux]

:icon_biggDoes anyone know the steps to proper front bumper removal? I drive a 90 with a pre-89 bumper. Someone hit my front bumper while I was in a store, and some parts are knocked a little out of place. Do you think I could remove the bumper and put it back on correctly with all the parts in their places? Here are some pics, sorry that they're so big.

and would anyone happen to know what the thing is hanging from where my left fog light would be? Thanks in advance

Looks like the inner support brackets got bent. You will have to remove and bend them back. Easiest way to remove the bumper is with the support. 2 large bolts with nuts on the bottom hold the support to the frame rails. Then a few screws in each wheel well connected to the bumper cover (3-4 on each side), and there is a support bracket on each side at the back behind the wheel well cover. 2 bolts in the upper grill area. Remove turn signals, pull forward.

Wire is probably your air temp sensor or a fog light harness.

You have angered the Supra gods by putting the pre-89 bumper skin on an 89+ Supra. Repent your sins now before your Supra befalls an even worse fate.

Sorry... had to do that.

You might get lucky and not have anything bent underneath the skin. Looking at the pics - with no other point of reference - it looks like you don't have everything there anyway.

If I removed it and replaced it with all parts in their places, could it be as good as new? I just got both grills and the fog lights today, and the upper grill fits but the turn signals cant be in the right place because theres still alot of space on both sides of the grill. or am i missing a part? and since the bumper is pre-89 is there a possibility i need to buy some pre-89 turn signals? or are they the same.
