So I searched for about an hour.. no such luck..
-so my question is how the hell am I suppose to remove the rear lip from the bumper, the middle area doesn't seem to bad, and I have all those bolts off and everything, but there is a huge amount of industrial strength epoxy stuff on the inside of the bumper, I tried letting it sit in GueOff or something like that, tried cutting it with a razorblade from the inside, my dad sugested using a Sawzaw w/ a metal cutting blade, to kinda tear into the epoxy, but I would rather see what everyone else has done before trying that..
Help would be great, thanks

no one huh.. ok well my dad called a body shop guy that he knows, hopefully I can figure it out soon, I'm sure someone has done this, in fact I know people have because they are bought up crazy fast when there are totals.. but guess this part of the thread is slow these days

Do you care about the condition of the parts when you get them seperated? If you do i would not recomend taking a sawzaw to it. Try this pour some brake fluid on it and work a fine piece of high tensil wire in between the two pieces and work it back and forth. Make sure that you leave the bumper out in the sun for a few hours with the break fluid onit to soften the glue up. Hope that helps, worked for me.

sweet, thank you very much, my dad talked to the bodyshop guy that he knows and he said he didn't know of anyway to get industrial strength epoxy out, w/o the use of a sawzaw, but again, that will prob. break it, soo.. I will give that a try this weekend, great weekend for it too.. (85-90 out, from the 55-60 earlier this week lol, weather is crazy), other option was just to sell them together but would like to try this.. anyways thanks agian, it's very much appreciated!
