My wife backed into my 2018 Accord and broke a molding and reflector circled in the picture. Looking at a parts diagram, can someone confirm that theses are parts 13 and 24 in the diagram? How difficult is it to replace these parts? Thanks a lot.

It does look like these parts are 13 and 24. 13 looks like something you can pop in. 24 looks like it's held in by a screw (25)? So I would think you would have to take the rear bumper off.

Since you are DIY, I would run this by the Honda parts counter guy. Get that confirmation. Then say you will think about it, to walk away. Order it yourself and DIY.

Thanks! I ordered the parts and found a youtube video to pop the bumper off. Hopefully it's not too hard to swap the parts out!

I don't know if they mentioned it in the video you watched, but be very careful when setting the bumper down. Set it down on a towel or something to protect if from the ground. I'm seen bumpers get scratched up because the wind was blowing, or guys trip over it, etc.

I still have to do something about that scuff, but otherwise got the job done! Thanks for the tips.

I little touch up paint...Good job, looks great. I know this is a brand new car, but when you add "road dirt" I could hardly tell from the pic.
