My next purchase will be for a FMIC and blacked out front badge.

I’m looking to take my front bumper off once vs multiple times to do other mods

What other mode can be done much easier with the front bumper off? IC pipes, intake, etc?

I’m in a wheelchair so height and depth are challenges, hence the want to do all of them at once

Maybe an emblem swap if you want a custom one. Everything else you listed is done from under the hood.

Intercooler, badge swap, horn swap (if you want to put in PIAAs, for example) ...

Wash out the fins on your condenser and radiator.

Thanks for your service LD! I would say intercooler if your already going to have it off.

Thank you for serving, and good luck.. I'm NOT in a wheelchair and still haven't installed the black, square-tubes grill I bought more than a year ago.
