I tried to install my grille 2day and i noticed 2 screws in the back, that i cant reach. I wanted 2 know if there was another way 2 reach the screws w/o removing the bumper, but if i have 2 where r the other screws located.

I have a 99 civic
Thanx ht

 

if you stick your hand up under the splash guard/bumper, you can get to the screws under the grill that attach it to the front bumper

Here's how to remove te bumper:

Remove the Phillips tip screws from each corner in the wheel well.

Pop the hood and using a flathead, remove the black clips that sit along the top fo the grille.

Underneath the car there might be a Phillips screw on one or both front corners and two bolts under the middle.

Then just take the bumper off. It's easiest to grab it from the middle of the front once you've pulled both sides out.

It's really that easy.

Here's an image showing the location of all of the clips and bolts/screws.
