Hey! Got my bumper from tbone (thanks, man!;)) and had a few questions regarding the change over. Currently, there is a GM bumper on the front. See pics.

Now I am going to replace it with the REAL Marauder stuff!!! :banana:

First question for now is what kind of screws do I use to mount the Fog Light brackets to the cover?
Also, what kind of bolts should I use to connect the Fog Lights to the bracket?

I am sure I will have other questions. I plan on doing the swap after work today and into tomorrow (if necessary). Any tips would be great!

Small 1/4" long wood type screws to attach the bracket to the bumper and the fog lights to the bracket. Expanding plastic push pin to attach the back of the bracket to the bumper. Good luck with it!

Just to double check, but 1/4" wood type screws for both?:confused: I am thinking like a drywall to wood type screw. I have plenty of those, but the shortest I have is 1". :rolleyes:

Maybe 3/8" long tops.

Okay. Cool :cool:, thanks for the tip! :up:

Also, how does the grille come off? Is it screwed on or more clips?

The grille does not need to come off to do this job.

^^^what tbone said^^^

but for future reference, there are six 11mm nuts at the top of the grille, and 3 clips at the bottom.

Only hand tighten the top nuts unless you want a wavy grille.
