Stupid app isn't letting me post any pictures. But just bought my first angle grinder and getting ready to do trimming of my fenders for the installation of the cut out flares for the first time, I'm not gonna do that rear fenders yet cause I'm scared as hell!

Yeah those bolts suck. I replaced the bumper after some idiot dented it. It was just dented but it didn't look good. His car was totaled. So I've had some practice with it. I took a shallow socket and put it on the nut inside the bumper and then put the ratchet wrench as far into the other end of the socket and took my time. Took about 20 minutes. Soaking them in liquid wrench first really helps too.

Replaced the IAC. Started fine after replacing and drove home from parts store. Went to drive it few moments ago and idling at 3 grand again! What else will cause it to idle so high. No vacuum or manifold leaks. Tps adjusted yesterday.
