so i sprayed down the engine with cleaner, dumped baking soda in the interior, cleaned the leather, vaccumed up the baking powder, shampood the carpet and sprayed the cabin air filter with febreeze. seemed to get rid of most of the smell! there's just some skunk guts stuck in the bumper so i'm taking that off for a good wash right now

pried it out with a hockey stick 1 paw at a time lol was definitely not a pleasant experience..

and just for fun here's a pic of all the smelly goop before i rinsed it off (still smells and stained the bumper)... after i pulled off the bumper i found crap loads more of it around the radiator and such. still have a lot more cleaning to do.

hahah well i've given up on getting the smell out of the bumper. the plastic just absorbed it. plus the actual bumper is damaged too.... so i'll use this as an excuse to upgrade to an AP2 bumper

any recommendations on where to pick one up? http://www.hardtopguy.com/store/product.ph...7&cat=26&page=1 this seems like a good deal?

Hey, if you can, why not look at the APR front bumper? Looks a lot like an AP2 bumper and I believe there's a version that comes integrated with a lip.

Nvm, I just looked at the price from hardtopguy and I think that'll be hard to beat. GL though!
