Make sure to put towels over your bumper edges (where they meet the fender). If not, you will scratch up your fenders.

Here is the DIY for the headlights, take a look at it... The only thing you need to do different for removing the whole bumper is to use a 10mm rachet to remove the bolts right under the front bumper that holds the plastic engine undercover on.

You can also use a 10mm rachet if you have a long enough extension on the rachet to get the 4 bolts (2 on each side) that hold the fender to the bumper on the sides instead of the long phillips.

I hope this helps you




Jining... Where did you get stuck at?.... Bumper should come right off... takes very little time to do...

well i did use a phillips to remove the 2 on each side in the wheel wells and each side of the bumper would nearly come off but it seemed as the bumper was still bolted onto something. and yes I took out the 2 plastic clips as well :0/

Did you take out the pop rivits along the top of the grille? There are like 6 up there , also did you take the side marker lights out?
