The job is fairly simple, but I always like to know what I'm in for before beginning any project. I didn't find one here so I figured I would write one as reference point for anybody interested in this. 10-15min

Tools:
7mm socket
T-15 torx
Long screwdriver (or a plastic putty knife could also do the trick)

1. On either side of the fascia there are 4x 7mm bolts and 2x T-15 torx readily visible and can be quickly removed.



2. Looking underneath you will spot another 2x 7mm



3. Now, this little hidden bolt on the inside of the bumper/fascia assembly is the reason i decided to do a write up. There is one 7mm bolt per side and you need really work with this one. I recommend just letting your hand cramp and working through the pain



I would say its roughly about here:



4. With all the 7mm bolts removed the rest of the job is decently quick. There are 4x bumper-tabs per side that can be pulled away from the fascia pretty quick and easy



5. Starting on either side with all bumper-tabs removed for that side you can access and remove the first (largest) fascia-tab. The first one has a metal retainer clip in place so it is a little stronger than the others. I was able to reach behind and wiggle mine until it popped free. Repeat for other side.

6. The method i used which seemed to work with little to no damage to anything was to work on the outsides inward by releasing one fascia-tab at a time. Pulling the fascia away from the bumper creating enough space/tension to touch the clippy part of the fascia-tab to pop free



7. There are three more of those metal retainer clips dead center, no way to access them, no tabs or anything I just pulled and they popped free.



Here is a bonus view of those reflectors. one single Phillips screw each side for removal

Thank you! this is so helpful!

Sure is thanks!!

interesting observation that Chevy uses 7mm bolts to hold items on car.

years ago they were 10mm bolts.

so reducing bolt sizes reduces weight.
very smart, and im sure all bolt sizes were reduced. nice, every little bit counts.

Very helpful Viewska!

Was the purpose of the removal to take out the reflectors? If so, can you not get to them without removing the entire fascia?

[sureshshanmugam79]

Very helpful... thanks much. I always wanted to have it painted gloss black and this article is very helpful.

Wouldn't this be the same for any non-npp camaro?

not sure what about it is V6 specific.

[viewska]

Yes, I guess it isn't trim specific, I just posted it in here, maybe a mod can move it to where it needs to be

This was definitely very helpful. I changed mine out last night, and I would say it took around 4 hours to fully complete. I was probably being overly cautious and wasn't really in a rush. Now to decide what quad tip exhaust to go with.
