2016 2017 2018 Honda Civic -Front Bumper Removal Replace install How to Remove Take Off 10th Gen X

[@Lookdownhereiam]

You single-handedly helped me with replacing my civic bumper. I'm a girl and doing this on my own caught the attention of the neighbors, they couldn't believe what I was doing on my own. Thank you so much for the videos. Much appreciated!

[@milliondollarbaby1911]

Then who helped you to paint the bumper ? Did you fix the new bumper without painting it ?🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@totljag1]

I’m scared to try 😂

[@usieq9727]

Same girl!! I woke up super early to try to do this!! Doesn’t seem so bad it’s going to take time but I have hope!!

[@Lookdownhereiam]

@@milliondollarbaby1911 I know this is mad late but the answer is, it took some searching but I found a junkyard states away that had a website and showed what parts were for sale, they had my part in the color already. Never paint car parts by hand, that’s done by computers now. You’ll never, ever, match it.

[@HiMeh]

@norangelis hello would you tell me the website please? I am trying to get some parts for my car to get it fixed

[@annax6669]

as a first year auto body apprentice, with really unhelpful jounryeman (instead of explaining or showing you, they just do it themselves in 5 seconds since they’re so experienced, then walk off ignoring you completely) thanks for your help, i’m actually able to learn how to take apart stuff especially without having to feel rushed✌🏻

[@ryansheehan340]

Welcome to the trades. Pay attention to what your journeyman is doing when you ask. A lot of times there’s no explaining there’s just doing and that’s part of the job, any job really.

[@streetfighterfan500]

And years after this post.......I find myself needing to replace my daughter's civic bumper...Thank you for the detailed removal.

[@smebonnet]

Dude! Thank you for posting this video. If not for your post, I wouldn't have had the guts to do this myself. Now I'm driving with a cool black grille and I have you to thank. Right on, brother!

[@dylantedford7192]

How easy was it putting the bumper back together? I'm replacing the grille on mine and Im terrified of screwing it up, lmao.

[@myxalplyx]

Worked like a charm. Did this last week and I'm not even comfortable doing this stuff. Big huge thanks for this video and your grille removal video.

[@DIYHonda]

Glad it helped :)

[@SDmileyfaty]

About to replace my entire bumper and grill by myself… thank you!

[@zsebi696]

I am about to replace 2017 Civic OEM wimpy horn with dual tone horn. This video tutorial is just what I needed. Thank you.

[@jerwind7393]

Zsebi696, were you able to replace the wimpy horn on your 2017 civic?

[@LickTheShaft]

@@jerwind7393 Worked great for me today. I replaced it with a Wolo upgraded horn kit from College Hills Honda that they provided a factory harness with. Be careful if you have the 1.5T though, the increased horn size doesn't allow for a proper 100% downward facing for the horn because of the intercooler piping. I had to bend the bracket slightly so it'd clear the piping.

[@andrewaton3353]

That I was Thinking to do

[@drewnicholls998]

Listen to this man. He knows it.

[@kevinhendricks2575]

You sir are an absolute wizard!! I was finally able to ditch the nasty ass chrome grill with your help. ✋🏼

[@kevinphanson]

excellent video. explained every step and actually showed the work (unlike another video I watched before finding this one, lol). Thanks!

[@757body8]

Bro, you just save me the day!! I’m literally at part where the chrome clips come off

[@MichaelBlanchardA440]

Thank you for posting this video! I have a smashed fog light from this winter, and you just saved me hundreds of dollars at the dealer!! I will do this in a few weeks on my EX-T

[@alvarosalamanca4182]

Can you do a video in which you explain how to put the bumper back on? Will be much appreciated. Thanks!

[@Boxie740]

Just the reverse procedure

[@terrythamesiv2820]

Great instructional video I just wish it wasn't so blurry.

[@raczyk]

The crome piece on my bumper is cracked, near the middle of the car, how do you recommend fixing the crack? The crome wrapping has also peeled. Great Videos!

[@georgejetson8593]

What clip tool did you use? Like what do I ask for if I’m going to go buy one?

[@guggug3397]

Awesome video thanks. That silver part of the bumper above the headlights is part of the bumper obviously, but can it be removed from the bumper and replaced? How much are they? Haven’t been able to find that part alone by itself online, not trying to buy a whole new bumper.

[@RevitalizedVessel]

This was a great and informative video! Is it possible to remove the grille without taking the whole bumper assembly off? If so, please make a video :)

[@DIYHonda]

Unfortunately the front bumper must be taken off in order to remove the grille.

[@humlocker]

I was told to buy the center chrome, does this all come as one piece/ chrome and bumper or are these two separate pieces. I saw you took off as one complete bumper with the chrome. Thanks

[@efrainmartinez6798]

Separate

[@donath01]

You're the man! Appreciate the video. Switched out my fog lamps no problem. :)

[@willowhoot]

Crazy question here, can you put a 2016 front bumper on a 2019 civic? I think they look cooler from the 2016 model haha

[@jakessi6385]

You should be able to as long as its the same generation civic you should be fine in this case 2016 to current year is 10th gen

[@rocketcitytint]

They defenently do look cooler lol i always thought that

[@evangelistasantiago3854]

Thank you for your time and knowledge

[@brysonngo9673]

ty bro helped me replace the ugly ass chrome grill

[@julianpark93]

Do you have to jack up the car or put it on ramps to do this job if you’re on stock ride height?

[@alexmora5037]

No sir, pro tip turn the wheels to the left when working on the passenger side to take the screws out of the wheel well, and turn the wheels to the right to work on the driver side!

[@alyciamorgan7939]

[@sharondaaaaaa]

Thank you!!

[@SkeetSkeet8192]

Steep parking lot entrance cracked my girlfriends bumper. Love the video, any suggestions on where to buy the front bumper? It is a 2017 hatchback sonic blue grey.

[@DIYHonda]

There isn't really any aftermarket bumpers out yet for the Civic X. You can buy a brand new bumper at your local Honda Dealership or you can find used ones on ebay.

[@sjord7]

I'm going to use this and replace my "moped" like horn on my Civic with a real horn. I also need to replace a broken fog light.

[@kg_1720]

Lol exactly what I’m going to do tomorrow 😅 replace horn and both fog light lenses

[@carleymachado2974]

I just need to replace the piece above the grill - the clips are broke . Any suggestions?

[@okzzvil7617]

Nice It helps me a lot. Thank you man for your effort. God bless you.

[@jimmydorantes1]

How about putting the bumper back into place?

[@sandyvan8260]

Thanks for your very informative video. Saved me untold hours.

[@Akelli-gx9cx]

For replacing a headlight does the entire bumper need to come off or can i do it partially? If anyone knows, Thanks in advance

[@dapanpanman112]

How much will a replacement bumper and fender cost?

[@DIYHonda]

For a painted bumper and fender your probably looking around $600-$800. Check my description for this video and my fender removal video. I have links for painted body parts mailed to you.

[@TonyAlvar3z]

Where did you buy the front bumper?

[@Astrohhh]

Hey man! Any chance you're in Colorado? I'd 100% pay you to help me do a fog light project and new grill project.

[@AD-lt1tu]

I need to replace a broken fog light lens(2017 ex-t coupe). After you removed the bumper does it give you access to the fog light housing? Dealer said it would be 2-3 hour job. Please tell me it is this simple. Thanks

[@DIYHonda]

Once the bumper is off the hardest part is done. You will have easy access to the fog lights.

[@AD-lt1tu]

DIYHonda Thank you very much

[@josuerivera1740]

Any reason why my eye lids don’t pop off that easy? I pressed down on both openings at the top, and they do pop off. But it seems like there’s something else holding it to the rest of the grill. On the inner portion of it.

[@Activados701]

What is the part call where you un screwing the bottom screws from the number a cover plate or engine plane cover ?

[@christianblanco8913]

So from 2:29 to 2:48... those are multiple clips holding that part of the bumper in place? Also, are those inner clips the same as one of the three you identified for us at the very beginning of the video, or are they different?

[@kennethlow6619]

Do all Honda Civic of this generation (2017) use screws to attach the license plate frame to the bumper or do they use double sided tape

[@lamxung5000]

Screws

[@marcusshetter340]

is it possible to only take off the chrome parts?

[@littlelokooooo1534]

Do you guys know if a 2019 front bumper will fit a 2016 ??

[@Peludo485]

Thanks so much - Well explained and Super helpful!

[@alfonsovan831]

very good video bro, can u upload a video showing how to install a drl cover fog light please

[@craigb9167]

Hi, when you pull the bumper forward and off what was holding it? Clips? And do they just snap back in?

[@DIYHonda]

The last thing that is holding the bumper on is a plastic bracket under the headlights called a "stiffener". It clips into little slots that are cut into the bumper. To put the Bumper back on just line the bumper up and give it a smack with your palm. If its lined up correctly it will click right back in place.

[@mattdahlgren4985]

DIYHonda if either the stiffener or the slots that it clips into are bent is there an easy way to fix that? My bumper won't snap back in place on the driver's side and it looks as if the plastic is bent. The dealer said it's because my bumper must have hit a dip in the road or something and bent the bumper. And they said the only way to fix it is to get an entirely new bumper....

[@Alphapunk2]

the dealership bent mine, they can't do anything properly, i had to open up the entire bumper to bend it in place as best as i can and put i back. The only solution is to buy a new bumper and fit it yourself. Now there's a stupid gap between the headlight and bumper which keeps bothering me

[@cediepurificacion8480]

Do you need those electric tools to take out some of the bolts bc they are to hard to take it off by hand?

[@JasonPrice1]

I would say no. I had to take two off on mine the other month and they come out fine by hand/with a ratchet. I do, however, default to using a power or air tool as I am lazy and own a lot of tools.

[@rigged5984]

Nice video, good job and thank you…

[@track35]

im currently trying to install a block heater myself the honda instruction tells me to remove the front bumper is that necessary to drain the coolant and replace the drain plug with the heater?

[@DIYHonda]

If all you have to do is drain the coolant and replace the plug I don't see any reason why you would have to remove the bumper.

[@Monkee4130]

How do I remove the lower half of the air intake box

[@Ivanfireefc2]

Please do a video on a quarter panel replacement

[@alejandrorivas9664]

We remove the damage fender but the new fender do not have the brace and we do not know how uninstall the brace from the old fence to install it ,in the new one . Can you tell us ?

[@stopnthink777]

Can you remove just the chrome trim by itself? I wanted to swap it with a blackout one

[@DIYHonda]

Unfortunately, you have to remove the bumper to take the chrome off. There are hidden screws that are not accessible when the bumper is left on the car.

[@teamhonzilla]

Great job my man but damn Honda all this damn clips just to take a bumper off 🤦‍♂️

[@DIYHonda]

Haha, they really don't want them to fall off.

I cracked my grill in a accident, and I need to replace, what size is the Alan head??

[@jm33561]

Are all those clips reusable and needing to go back into the same spots?

[@DIYHonda]

All clips are reusable and you must put the same type of clip back in each hole. Just be careful to not break the clips when taking them out. A clip tool works great.

Can you do a grille removal

[@sandyvan8260]

Awesome video!

[@DennyMui]

do you need a jack or can you do this without one?

[@JasonPrice1]

Having been under mine a few times, I would recommend it but it is not an absolute necessity. The best option, in my opinion, would be a set of ramps so that you have the whole front of the car at a better working height. Then, if you have fogs or radar, set a short table or something equivalent in front of the car so that the bumper can be rested there while you disconnect the wires. Just take note that if you use ramps with the GenX Civics, the standard angle ramps are too steep. You will either need to make adapters out of wood or just use some 2x6 boards in advance of the ramps to let the car come up a little before actually getting the wheels onto the ramps. I made a set of adapters for mine that drop bolts through the holes in the ramps to keep them in place. (My ramps are steel and look like these: media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/33298/28637660_2.jpg?v=8D5378B7C4E20B0 ) If you don't have ramps and are looking to buy some, just be sure to get ones with a low drive up angle. I don't know what the drive up angle is for our cars but I do know it is quite low for a non-supercar.

[@DennyMui]

Jason Price I made the modification without a jack or elevating the car. Probably took twice as long. Managed to get all the clips out, but broke the last one so my bumper was still technically attached. Changed the grill with it halfway on. It sucked. But it worked! Thanks for all the pro tips.

[@MrTuberguber]

Depress the brittle plastic clip while pulling out on the brittle plastic molding. :)

No reason, thats just how I do it. You can remove the clips in any order you would like.
