How to remove bumper
 
Hey guys,

I painted my back bumper but the company I used didn't reinstall it correctly because there is a gap between the bumper and the body of the car. I want to remove it then re-install it myself. Please post steps or url on how to remove the bumper.

Thx.

Ryan

I dont recall there being a DIY on the rear ever posted? If i remember correctly. there is 1 screw in each wheel well (there is a small notch cut out of the bumper (close to where it ends and meets the body in the wheel well) and like 2 clips on the underside by the spare tire well area and like 4 or so when you pop the trunk. Then it should just pop off

You need to take it back to them and have them fix it right. Why risk messing it up..if they F*** it up, its on them..not you!

Just read about the meet and would love to attend but I have kids so it will be hard. I'll try...thanks for the info.

vzuptnguyen - do you know a good cheap Acura mechanic in the OC area?

RyanOfSoCal 04-18-2007 02:09 AM

CJITTY - You're right and I've done that, three times in fact. They finally got the paint right...this problem I can manage so I took the easy way out...I'm going to try it myself.

Did you get this done? DIY?

Does anyone know of a good paint/body shop I in OC area? I need to get my front bumper resprayed and my back touched up (some a-hole backed into me - again).
