Is there any way of taking off the "tumors" from the canadian front and rear bumpers?

i dont really mind it, but it obviously looks better without it.

 

Wow, that's ugly as sin! Why on earth would they do that? Just order a new bumper if you can't get that growth removed. Eeewww! LOL

 

canadian safety regulations call for it, not sure why, Canadian rules are messed.

it looks like it can come off and i'm not sure what underneath the plastic. Any canadians look?

how much does a bumper go for?

 

BTW - found this article on autoblog

this is a good thing for us canadians

 

It may very well be connected to the license plate insert tabs. check it out

 

i'll take a look if it warms up, it's -21c today, way too cold.

if anyone has already tried please let me know

 

^I thought it was cold here in florida lol. its *65F right now. haha

 

woa what? -21c?!?! woa... you cant even go outside for more than 10 minutes at that temp without frostbite

 

it's not that bad, just have to dress warm

 

Highs this week aren't supposed to break 0, lows of -15, and I'm talking Fahrenheit... Its not a good time to work on cars in the northern states and canada.


Even if you are able to remove the 'tumors', won't you still have the mounting holes underneath it?

Your best bet would probably be to source a US spec bumper.
Whats under that mess, does the crash bar itself extend out more, or is it just a foam block?
