List of things to do when you have your bumper off

Hello all, I am about to repaint my grill (spelled grille?), and since I have to take off the bumper, I thought I should take care of a couple of other things while I am at it.

So Currently on my list:
-Replace purple looking look xenons

Anything else?

If you have the lower fogs, install plexiglas on the openings to protect the fogs. Mine were yellow.

Very easy. Just cut out the plexiglas into squares and epoxy them into the inside of the bumper bezel's and you're done.

Rember you'll have to invest some money on those but really worth it !!

1- Remove headlight and Blacked them out
2- Install a Cold Air Intake - Really easy 15min MAX if bumper already off (video on youtube)
3- Install some Accord fog lights in the bumper with HIDs if you have prior 07 TL
4- Replace DRL or Fogs with HIDS
5- Replace blinkers buy switchBack VLEDS yellow/white

I think its enough lol
