alright i would like to take off my front bumper on my 91 da integra, so as i can gain access to some lines and the intake runner, i have almost all the bolts this is where it gets confusing, it seems as if acura is trying to screw with me. it seems as though there are two bolts one holds the support for the headlights, and the other is one of the screws that holds the bumper on i cannot get to either of these, any advice? (btw i have searched already)
I had the Same problem man, heres a Diagram on how to do it, My source was "dwnlow91" from, Generation 2 Integra Club.
Tools required: Phillips Screwdriver, Ratchet set
Steps on Modification:
1. First thing you want to do is remove both bumper turn signals. They will expose two main bolts on each side of the car that hold the reinforcement together with the frame of the car. Remove the corner lens to make it easier for removal and installation on the new bumper (This will decrease the chance of creating new scratches on the new bumper.) On each side of the bumper where the wheel well is located remove two screws. Make sure you don't lose any of the bolts or screws as you will need them for the new bumper. On the bottom of the car remove two screws that hold the bottom of the bumper in place. Okay once they are all removed. Put in a safe place.



2. Now that all the screws have been removed, pull the 1990-91 bumper away from the car and gently lay it on the floor facing down. (Use the piece of cloth so the bumper won't get scratched.) The reinforcement is attached to the bumper using 9 screws at the top and one in the center by where the license plate bracket is attached in the center of the grill. When all 10 screws are removed lift out the reinforcement, and it will expose the Styrofoam. IF you click the link it well teach you how to finish the conversion, Hope this helped For Ya!

aha! So you dont have to remove the top screws on the bumper just remove the whole support?! that is amazing thanks for the help man!
I sure wish I'd have done a search before I tried to remove the three bolts\screws on the top front. Now I need to find some new ones do to a bit of aggresive hammer and chisel action. Live and learn. Great post.
