    Could you do me the biggest favor ever!!? Take a bolt of your front bumper and tell me what size screw it is??? I'm still trying to bolt my new front bumper.. I can't find the right size screw cause I had to punch the old screws out because they were so rusted.

    theres bolt and nut on the front bumper... the bolts have a chrome cap over it with no hex on it the nut size i believe is a 12mm or 14mm
