ok, want to change my fuel filter, however i cant figure how to get at it. With the saleen rear bumper cover it comes down and back and sits flush to the gas tank. So how do you get at the filter? I cant remove the cover. Dropping the tank would be a pita. havent tried it yet, but how far can you bend it down without hurting it? maybe have someone hold it down while another reaches up inside to swap it.

Ideas?

Ummm, the filter should be at the front of the gas tank on the outside of it, the bumper doesn't extend all the way that forward, does it??? That'd have to be a really huge bumper cover if it did.

It is behind the tank, just depends on if your standing in front of the car, or behind it.
