nah you gotta get the headlights out to get the bumper off. there are 3 screws under each headlight that holds the bumper on

i've taken mine out like 4 times

yeah take bumper off, and then you will easily see the nuts holding the headlights

i think everyone should buy the helms manual as mandatory when they buy a prelude, i mean its like 60 bux or so

i guess there would be less posts on here if everyone did that huh?

this man has obviously done it before.

those 6 little plastic screws are the only thing that holds the bumper on.

Hmmm... I beg to differ... If he had done it before, he would have told everyone to actually remove the bolts that hold the bumper support on... Then, you wouldnt have to worry about those screws under the headlights and actually could remove the headlights... Anyone with JDM 1 pcs should know this...

Its all good

lol ^

to remove the bumper support, there are two nuts inside the engine bay around the area behind the headlights. they are holding two long bolts that are horizontal.

then you can take off the bumper support after you have taken off the bumper cover.

what plastic screws are you talking about? the ones directly under the headlights? no those aren't the only screws holding up the bumper and do you honestly think a bumper would be held up by plastic screws?
