It's funny I was just out of body shop where they told me how terribly impossible it is to take this front bumper off justifying the hours and hours of labor to simply have it repainted I'm glad I saw this thank you

Hey Martin,, in behind the bumper cover is there a steel reinforced bumper bar ,I really couldn't see it in the video.......The reason I ask is I have a 2020 Challenger SXT that has no fog lamps, but has the factory pre cut outs for fog lamps . I plan on installing a set of aftermarket fog lamps but I will need a place to install the fog lamp brackets in behind the cover to hold the fog lamp assembly in place........Great video , 😊 thanks.
