Sorry if this is a repost because I remember seeing a thread with this topic but searching yielded me nothing.......anyway....the black trim under the front bumper can someone explain to me how to remove it.....I remember reading somewhere that you have to zip tie something after I just figured you guys would be able to help

Thnx & pics are a welcome addition if you have any :-)r

Its been a long while since mine has been on there. I'm pretty sure you just have to turn the white fasteners 1/4 turn and pull them out. Then you should be able to just pull the trim out of the clips.

remove the trim clips ( wheel well liners etc... they can be reused... turn those white knobs a quarter turn and it pulls out

Nothing needs to be zip tied. Just take the Air Dam out and thats it

if you dont reuse the white clips you have to zip tie the inner fender to the hole from the white clips... ill post some pics later of the aftermath of not doin this and playing in the mud

yup - easy to remove. Get underneath, turn 3 white plugs a quarter turn and pull them down. once they're out, you can pull the air dam back towards the tires, and it'll pull out of it's slot.

Only thing to zip-tie is when you put the air dam back on (assuming you DO put it back on), if you've lost the white plugs.

Don't have any pics... but..

There WILL be holes, yea - but they're on the bottom of the bumper - parallel to the ground. You can't see them unless you're laying on your back underneath the Jeep.

Give it a shot - Literally, it take 47 seconds to remove. Probably took me longer to lay down/squirm my head/shoulders underneath then it did to actually remove.

A few pics without spoiler. Sorry images are so small. I've reset the format on camera and tried to resize on photobucket. I can email you larger shots if you'd like. PM me with your email for that one. I have the spoiler and little white clips for future reinstallation should I want to. You don't really see any of the clip holes unless you crawl under the front end.

Hey Nick, did you ever get the spoiler taken off? I solved the sizing issues with my images. :BANANA:

I'm reposting with a larger view. Hope this helps with your decision.

Does removing this make changing the oil less of a PITA?

Elt31987 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:25 am

Nope, you gain a little more approach angle

Has anyone noticed any loss in MPG or Higher operating temps after removing the Air Dam?

Elt31987 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 04, 2010 2:50 pm

You'll probably get like .3 lower MPGs with it removed. Temperature would stay the same
