Hi I'm new to this forum. I also participate over at clubrsx.com. I saw people with RSXes take off their bumpers easily so I assume it must be the same for Accord.

I have an 02 Accord 4dr. The front bumper, where by the headlight is getting kinda loose so I assume there's a retainer or clip missing there. I don't want to take it to a shop because they'll probably charge me a lot. I'm trying to take it off myself and find out what's missing inside. Are there any instructions and pictures available for the front bumper removal?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

There is 4 or 5 bolts on top, you would have to open the hood to see that. And there is 2 or 3 screws/bolts on each side under the fender, where the bumper and fender is bolted on together.

 

are there a diagram/pic i can refer too? i know roughly where the screws and bolts are but i just wanna have a diagram/pic to refer in case i mess up.

 

Sorry no diagram, its just on top and a few on sides, Its not hard.

 

I don't have a diagram (maybe someone will post one up in a bit), but I'll try to be as descriptive as possible.

Top of the grill:
2 plastic snap-in clips (must have hood open to see). There might be a 3rd, but I don't think so.

Fenderwells:
1 Philips head screw per side, where the bumper meets the fender. Can also use a 8mm socket (or 10mm, can't remember).

Underside of bumper:
4 or 6 plastic snap-in clips. Be careful with these... They like to break.
2 Philips head screws (can use 8mm or 10mm socket), 1 per side, located near the rear corners of the bumper.

Then just tug the bumper off by pulling forward.
