Re: Cold start rattle!

Although my pics are still being held hostage by Photobucket, looks like the exact same procedure I wrote up on the bumper removal "How-To" on the 10's through 12's.

Fairly easy job once familiar with it. Fastest I got mine off was 12min.

Good luck Z!

^^^ exactly what he said. There are a couple tabs up top that sometimes need a little guidance and by the headlights.

Fingers crossed it's something simple

This unfortunately might require a dealer visit since it needs some fasteners.
I tried to pushing it in on both sides for the time being. Z

That's the section that came loose on (both sides). Z

Is this better!!!Lol.

Do you have the part numbers for those? If you need them let me know. Both of mine broke when I took off the bumper for the Alky install.

Total cost was $19 both both sides, and its one bolt holding them in. Super easy to replace.

My guess is they snapped when the LMS guys removed your front bumper and they didn't notice. Although if they don't clip in correct it doesn't sit right... so not sure how they didn't notice. And my guess is that is the only time your front clip has ever been removed.

Just banking my brownie point for when I really piss everyone off one day..

Are you planning on swapping them yourself? If so, I did it by poping out the plastic screws in wheel well and the bottom 8mm bolt.. it gave me enough room to pull the front clip away to swap out that part...

The single bolt is a 13mm IIRC which was odd as almost everything is 8 or 10 for mouldings...

If you run into issue please feel free to reach out! If you were closer I could just swing by and knock it out in 15min...

Update I found the engine cover loose since having my DPM installed.
The engine cover does not sit flush on the engine due to the DPM being slightly higher on TOP of the manifold which makes it difficult to fully secure the cover and only the front two fastner's,insulators can be fully secured which IMO is causing the brief plastic rattle sound upon cold start up. Z

The bumper issue is my fault due to the lower skirt getting stuck on the curb .

Such a purveyor of RED!  Even hitting a RED brick wall, LOL!  Yeah, the cover makes sense, I guess at least you can still have the cover kinda on, unlike with the hiflow HPFP.
