Default How to: Remove front bumper

Ok It took me about two hours, lack of proper tools.
10mm socket & wrench (1HOUR LOOKING FOR MISSING 10MM SOCKET)
socket extension (half an hour looking for socket extension)
Screw drivers (Flat Head & Phillip Head)




Remove poppers. You can do this by using a flat head screwdriver twisting motion. May want to use cloth at the head of the screwdriver to protect the poppers.
Remove the intake snorkle.
Remove the radiator shroud.


Remove 5 x 10mm bolts & disconnect the fog light plug.

Remove the 10mm bolt & plastic screws inside your wheel well.
Do this for both driver while wheels are pointed to the passenger side &
passenger side while the wheels are pointed to the driver side. :P

Make sure to turn the wheel to one side to get to the screws & bolt in the wheel well.
I didnt use a jack or lift (which would make this job easier)
After bruised knees & elbows. (took 5 min break)


Remove 5 x 10mm bolts that hold your splash guard to your front lower bumper.
Remove 2 x poppers on each side. ok 4x poppers.

10mm bolt at the nose of your front bumper on the passenger side.

another 10mm bolt at the driver side.

all the fasteners are having a safety meeting here.
Some poppers are different so they hang out in respective location.
Top 10mm bolts are shorter than 10mm bolts at the bottom to hold the splash guard.

Ok, the tricky part of taking off the bumper.
Pull down a tad bit to clear the nub & pull outward gently (you dont need Hercules strength)

Ok, this is kinda important to note on 5 x 10mm bolts on top has two metal washer ea. under the mounting points make sure you dont loose them.
They look like this...
they are from the second picture from 10mm bolts under the front bumper mounting brackets..easy to lose if you are not paying attention...

Hi I recently upgraded my front bumper and the Engine shield at the bottom does not line up with the bumper. Clearly mine is too short and the ralliart splash guard is a bit longer, Can you provide a part number for that splash guard or guide me as to where I can acquire one. Thanks.

Another thanks from me! Perfect instructions made it a super easy job. Allowed me to get a few things done that I've been putting off for months. Plastidipped the ring, put in hella horns (you can faintly see them there behind the top grill in the 2nd picture) and replaced the headlights.
