I am a newb at doing car installation of anything. I tried searching on how to install a grille and install/remove front bumper. Does anybody have a link for this? Oh, its for a 99-00 civic.
Thanks

I can walk you through it. Its real simple if your car is still stock and un-dicked with.

First thing you need to do is to go under the car and remove the two bolts under the radiator area. Then there are two screws farther out on the right and left sides. After you get those there is one clip in each wheel well holding the bumper to the fender. It should be at the 10 oclock position on the wheel well (on the left side at least).

After you get those, remove the 5 (i think 5 maybe 7) black clips from the top of the front grill. You'll probably want to go to honda and get a few new ones, because these break pretty easy. There are two more (one on each side) to the sides of the center grill holding the bumper to the frame. After you get all of those the whole thing should just slide off.

 

so i cant install a new grille w/o removing the bumper right? and thx for the info

thats right you have to remove the whole thing to get to the screws under the grille. its pretty straight foward when you look at it.

 

yeah its really easy, be careful with those clips. dont break them. it shouldnt take you that long.
