Removing Front Bumper

Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the front bumper. I'm sure its pretty simple. I need to get a new bumper put on and don't want the collision shop to charge labor of removing old one and puting new one on if I can do it myself. Thanks.

Sup man. Thanks for the offer. It'll probably be awhile till I actually get it painted. I'll give you a hollla when I do. . You go to State? Maybe I've seen your car before. When cardomain works, i'll check.

4 pop tabs on the front top, near radiator support (black platic). and on each fender where it meets the bumper theres 2 screws and a metal bracket. You should start on one side, turning steering wheel the opposite direction, so you can partially remove mud liner to get behind the bumper and unscrew the 2 screws. Theres also plastic pop's undereath where the bumper meets the black plastic splash guards.

Remove underside plastic pop's first.
Remove each fender/bumper attachemnt.
Remove top 4 pop's.

In the meantime, remove your sidemarkers/plugs and be careful and unplug your fogs.

umm i took my factory off...then put it back on after my kit broke. and i just took it off. The most time consuming (not difficult) is bending the fender/mud liners away so you can access the 2 screws that hold the bumper to the fender. Thats it.

Same here. I hardly have time to "hang out" by the courts anymore though. I try to get out of campus asap this semester.
