im in the middle of taking the front bumper off i took out all clips and everything but the ttabs just wont come out. i only got the side tabs out but the front is stuck like a B!TCH

 

Pull that bitch HAAAAARD!

 

haha i did. now its off but still connected to the foggies. and my super asian grandpa is home with me and came down to tell me how much of nothing i dont know and call me an idiot haha! -__-

 

LOL! how typical lmao

yeah those take some effort, took me a while at first too so no worries

 

yuuups i got it off and was about to take the intake manifold off but i didnt have the right size tools fml. so imma just hit up my friend and do the uninstalling at his house sometime this week. 1 hour wasted -__-

 

LOL.
Asian Grandpa knows more then you

 

hahah! thats what he said -__-

 

Is he also bald, with a loooong white beard and grows tea on some mountain while training warriors who travel to him to find the secret meanings of life on the side?

 

def not wasted man. u now know how to take out the bumper out yourself! you know more than what 70% car owners do

 

haha no he's more like a filipino budda! lol

yuuups thats a good way at looking at it! now next time ill probably be able to take it off in 10 mins? lol the hardest part will be the fogs!

 

I think the hardest part are those damn clips!

And my fogs will be really hard to remove, the wires are taped together now cuz of the HIDs x:

 

which clips? the one that attaches to the headlights? or the small black ones?? cause the small ones are a btch like forreals -__-

 

The small ones. I was even tempted to buy the "bitch clip remover" it frustrated me that much =.=

 

hahaha! i just used a flathead and my fingers. now my fingers hurt -__- so i only put back like half of the bottom clips. and i put them in all the important parts. lol and i tested the car on the freeway going 70 and its still attached !

 

Forum member Defconskylude rolls with NO clips!

 

+1
He's extreme

 

haha yuuup iv seen the thread! i wanna do that makes it easier to take off but idk roads in HI can be very bumpy....lol!

 

Next time I hit up Hawaii, take me for a ride in your TSX!

LOL. I actually think Hawaii roads are better then here.

 

The "Bitch" in "bitch" clip remover is used to describe the purchaser of the product

 

I just love how they actually listed it as that. LOL.

i use a combo of a flat head mini screwdriver and a a standard flathead to prop em off. have yet to take my bumper off so i am sure i will come back on here to complain about that when i do

 

Same here. Two screwdrivers and TWIST!

 

thats how you do it man

if all else fail, use your teeth, like a boss.

 

haha! so funny! and tsxkid yuup sure come oahu anytime!
and no hawaii roads are shddy to many bumps, pot holes, and tiny rocks that hit and chip my paint when im on the road D:.

 

I seen a 1st gen TSX with these quick release snaps for the bumper, I think it was 4 snaps and boom that badboy was off the car pretty cool actually..those would seem kinda useful I think, I just have no idea about the product info/name tho and if its model specific.

 

daaaamn! only if they had those for 2nd gen!

 

All these clips are the same on every Honda/Acura, I'm sure!


And yeah! I have a couple friends up in Oahu and go there with my dad on business trips allt he time

 

haha i see! cheehee finally took out the intake resonator sounds beastly and for some reason feels faster

 

Ok after some searching they are called SRR quick release tabs

Its just that piece behind the headlight 2 tabs and a rubber O-Ring on both sides 1 for each side, not sure if there's stuff for underneath. The one thing I dont like is the unflush look. Apparently these are rare too something about stopping production not sure but yea voila

 

Theres also the Zeus Clips. They replace the bitch clip with a clip that's easier to remove, but they do get pricey at ~$5/ clip.

On an upside, my uncle told me he can replace my broken bumper clips for free!

 

tell him u have 10 broken clips, and send me some

 

I thought yours were okay?! LOL.
Apparently they have like a box of that shit just laying around.
