How can I remove Front Spoiler/Bumper Cover 85-86?

droptopsupra · 04-06-2006, 04:35 PM

I am trying to remove the front spoiler / bumper cover to prevent it from cracking when I tow the car. I could not remove it. It appears to be different from the Celicas and the Pre 85 Supra where you can remove the spoiler without removing the bumper cover.

Any help is very much appreciated.

I was talking about the bumper cover which has an integrated air dam. I figured it out. There are 20 screws holding it on.

The side fender bolts 5 each side connecting to the bumper.
The grill area (5).
The bottom location of 5 bolts just under the bumper.

Yep... I got it off. It was pretty easy. Once you take the grill, parking and fog lights out, it was pretty easy to see and take the screws in the grill area off. It probably would have been easier to take the wheels off or at least turn them while I was taking the nuts off that attach the cover to the fender, but I managed to get them off. The splashguards in the wheel wells have to be pulled back to see and get at the nuts in the fender area.

BTW... there are 3 nuts on each side attaching the cover to the fender and not 5.
