Just a little guidance, but the next time you need help something, post what it is in the subject title. I.E. I need a DIY for bumper removal. I am editing it for future searches.

We used to have this DIY on this board, but lost it. I am copying & pasting the instructions from a bunch of cars.

Here are the instuctions; good luck.

Removing The Front Bumper

Begin by preping a middle sized flat heard screwdriver using electrical tape affixed to the top of the head like so to prevent any scratches. We used the bottom half of a milk carton to store our bolts as not to lose them.

Open the hood, and begin by removing the gromets circled in the pics below. To remove the gromets, stick the flat head into the little mini opening and turn it 90 degrees and the gromet screw should pop up. Be gently.

Begin by slowly lifting up the plastic mask. Start from the right side to the left and lift away from the car.

Using a 8mm socket with ratchet, begin unscrewing the bolts located in the tire well area on the upper area of the bumper. You can also use a phillips screwdriver.

Once that is completed, the bumper is now ready to be removed. This step is much easier with 2 people but can be done with one. Start with the left side and carefuly, but firmly, pull slightly downwards and then lift up. That bumper should come down, but do not attempt to fully remove the bumper just yet. Go to the right side and do the same.

Now starting from passenger side to driver side, get a grip to the bumper and pull it out firmly but carefully towards you. That should begin releasing the bumper from the car. Becareful because there are retaining clips that help hold the bumper to the car, so it’ll be pretty hard to remove the bumper if this your first time.

Now the bumper should come free fairly easily. Store the bumper in a safe and dry location until until you are ready to put it back on.
