[@step2058]

Just got a sweet deal on a 2008 Honda accord with 55k miles for only 10k for 32 months. Only problem is the grill is peeling. I’ll replace one soon so I am saving this video and subscribing, thank you!

Wow, let me say you have the most detailed instruction for this kind of job! Thank you for you efforts! I was wondering if you had any reccomendations for how to attempt removing the front emblem from the grill? I know you said it's likely to break however, I am trying to avoid having to spent the additional money. Finally, do you have a specific emblem + grill you reccomend we purchase.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Hello! Thank you for the kind words! If I was planning on removing the emblem from the grille, I would take a panel trim tool (the plastic ones) and carefully pry around the edges until it popped off. There is still a good chance it may break, but that's what I would try. Listed below is the parts I bought for this car. Take note: 2008-2010 Accords have a slightly different grille design than the 2011-2012. I am not sure if they are different sizes, but the design is definitely different. 2008-2010 Accord Grille - amzn.to/3LZs0l5 2011-2012 Accord Grille - amzn.to/3LZZP5z Emblem - amzn.to/3LXFzle Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!

Thanks for the video, do you know if the coupe and sedan have the same bumper and grille?

[@TrickShiftGarage]

To be 100% honest I don't believe so. The coupe looks like its slightly thinner, but I could be wrong.

[@devoonbmx603]

@@TrickShiftGarage the grills slightly thinner, or the whole bumper?

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I believe the grille is slightly thinner from top to bottom from the looks of it. But again, I'm not certain so I could be wrong.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

The process of changing it should be the exact same, but they may be different part numbers.

[@wreckagevic]

I need to replace the chrome trim only on the grill as it’s been bubbling and peeling, does the black part with the emblem just clip into that? eBay has cheap chrome trim replacement

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I'm not 100% sure. It was cheap for the whole grille so I just replaced it altogether.

[@khloelevels1531]

Do you know how I would disconnect my fog lights?

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Yes, each foglight should have an electrical connector with a push tab on it. Go ahead and push the tab and pull it off. That should release the connector. Remember you want to do that before removing the bumper. Removing the bumper first could put stress on the wires that connect to the foglights and that can cause issues. Let me know how it goes!

[@jtorske]

Does anyone know where to get the grill replacement part in Canada

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I'm not sure how that works, but have you tried Amazon?

[@_Midori]

What size clips do I need?

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I'm not sure since it's been a few months since I worked on this. I put a universal clip kit in the description of the video. It has plenty of different sizes, which is convenient for any car. They are pretty cheap too. If you don't want to find the link, just search "universal push clip" on Amazon. Just make sure you find the right one because some of them may be a larger kit, and some others can be too small.

[@deross8424]

Hello! Are all clips the same?

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I think they are slightly different (top vs the bottom). But that universal kit I bought has plenty of different sizes.

[@deross8424]

@@TrickShiftGarage thank you very much for the answer! where can I buy this set and what is it called?
