I purchased the Ford Performance front race bumper and tow ring a couple months ago. When it finally quit raining this weekend I started to install it. Bumper cover came off easily, and I had some related work I needed to do on it. Got the eight bolts out of the stock bumper and opened a ten-pack of cutting wheels. I went through four in under fifteen minutes and barely touched the welded-on bumper. Grabbed a Sawzall and some heavy duty metal cutting blades. I could almost hear the car laughing. For those who have replaced the stock bumper, what did you use to get it off? I don't really want to trust the car to a body shop--much less pay for demolition work. Thanks in advance for your advice.
