Congratulation on making it to our final installment of this Lancer front bumper replacement series. If you made it here without watching our previous 2 videos, you probably know what you're doing and probably can't remember where that extra bolt goes, HAHA. It happens to all the real mechanic/collision experts ;). This is a very easy install, we were very excited to do it after replacing all the bumper components. We're not a fan of rivets. If you don't know, watch our previous video. This is super easy, so let's dive in!
TOOLS NEEDED:
Your wonderful self. Also, 10mm wrench or socket wrench and a Philips screwdriver.
INSTALL PROCESS:
Often times in accidents, the plastic brackets will break or crack. This particular one was cracked and the customer also drilled her old bumper with wood screws to secure the bumper. Replace any parts as needed and especially, to be safe. Don't get hurt, we love you. Now, once we replaced the bumper brackets or bumper retainers, we mounted the bumper. Be careful not to hit your fender with the bumper corners. It helps if a friend can guide the bumper on one end. The bumper will sit below the headlights and snap-on below the fender, on those fancy brackets you may have installed. Make sure the long plastic bracket goes underneath the headlight. The bumper should easily snap in place, do not force it or hammer fist it until it is flush with the adjacent parts. Now you can begin to secure the bumper to the frame. We recommend starting at the top. This way the bumper will not fall down for any reason. Work your way to both sides by the wheel well and towards the bottom. Our customer did not want to purchase the lower engine cover but don't forget to install yours.
Does this install process description seem short to you too? Well, it's because the process is easy to do. Make sure the screws and clips are safely secure. Take a step back and make sure the spacing on the bumper is perfect. You are done! You're a certified body-collision pro now. Well, no, you're not and we're not. But, you can remove and install parts on your Mitsubishi Lancer now and that is pretty cool. We knew you had it in you!

The most informative video on this subject, actually explained the clips!

[@ReveMoto]

Thank you Greg!! This feedback is very helpful in creating more great videos like this

thnaks man, what a great video!

[@ReveMoto]

We're glad we can help, thank you for watching!

[@aubreydavis1771]

Great Video

[@ReveMoto]

Thanks! We're glad it helped.

[@fawadm5038]

Great video and tutorial, i noticed 2 holes in the bumper grill, do you know the name of that part?

[@ReveMoto]

Hello and thanks for watching! I believe those were just screw points for the grille. Not sure why they are there to be honest.

[@errejpc]

Hello friend, good video, a question, I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer EX but I wanted to know If the front bumper of the 2016 EX fits it too? I mean, do they have the same clips or do they change?

[@someonewhoisme4941]

Thanks for the vid guys, the 3 vids helped me remove my front bumper on my '17 Lancer to install some new headlights. After reinstalling the bumper I noticed there was some sag in the bumper under the headlight on the drivers side (JDM Model) - any tips on getting a flush fit? I installed exactly as you guys did - ensuring the white brackets under the headlights were secured. Should I consider replacing the side brackets and white brackets that clip in under the headlights? There was already a slight sag it is just worse now. Thanks in advance

[@ReveMoto]

Hello and thank you! We're glad the videos helped. If your bumper is sagging, it's because it's not latching onto something. Check to see if the brackets are broken, check to see if you can push the headlight out a bit more. You may want to check your bumper rebar/support. Make sure that is not pushed in or bent. I think the front/rear bumpers also have plastic supports in the middle. Make sure those are secure or not broken too. Good luck!

[@exodia7231]

Thank you x3!

[@ReveMoto]

Thank you for watching!

[@elijahramos5891]

Where can I get the black clips from im missing about 3-4 of them

[@ReveMoto]

You can buy generic ones at Autozone/O"Riley type stores, junk yard (if you're lucky to find them) or you can get them at the dealership. We recommend the dealership because they'll give you exactly what you need at a similar price. Thanks for watching!

[@kieranhagley5988]

what is the name of the sensor at the back of the washer pump bottle under the headlight

[@ReveMoto]

We're not sure but I would just call your local Mitsubishi and ask them for the price using your description. They can give you the actual name and price. Or, you can look at diagrams online. Thank you for watching!

[@centycents]

hey ya, does the white bracket of bumper that goes in underneath the headlight hooks into the headlight? or does it goes into the rectangle hole of the headlight? thanks

[@ReveMoto]

Hey! If I recall correctly, it goes into the open rectangle/socket under the headlight or headlight bracket.

[@centycents]

@@ReveMoto Awesome thanks!!

[@tylerjordan7457]

Do you know if you can put an evo x bumper on a 2016 lancer? I know they say its too wide but I saw someone else manage to get one on their lancer but it was a little older like a 2011. So I guess what I'm asking is the 2016 model more or less the same as the older models from a cosmetic standpoint?

[@ReveMoto]

We always recommend checking the forums. I think you can but you would need to also get the grilles and maybe the headlights and a new hood. Thank you for watching!

[@tylerjordan7457]

@@ReveMoto I tried to go through the forums but couldn't find anything too helpful. Not sure if I was looking in the right place though😂🤦‍♂️, for some reason I'm having a tough time trying to find a clear answer if the 2016 front bumper is the same as the older ones. Some front bumpers say 08-15 and some say 08-17 and some 16-17 not sure if thats because of potentially different fog lights or what. I dont know a lot about cars but want to learn more. I am looking at a 2016 lancer but want to make sure I can do some cosmetic upgrades just like the older ones before I buy it. My dream car is an evo but they are pretty spendy so im saving up and trying to get a lancer and add some cosmetic changes to make it look more like an evo, I know I know im going to be "that" guy but I think that is a good alternative for me. I'm a photographer so I am prioritizing how the car looks over speed and race performance as of right now 😂👍

[@ReveMoto]

@@tylerjordan7457 I would start by cross-referencing the part numbers. I think the evo fenders are the same shape but they have vents on them, so they will come up as different numbers. I think the hoods are the same shape too. I'm not sure about the headlights. I would look at every forum there is. The last thing you want are parts that won't fit and you cant return them, but I think it's possible. Good luck!

[@tylerjordan7457]

@@ReveMoto okay thank you so much! So if the part numbers are different then they arnt compatible? It says the the older lancer front bumper like the 2011 and 2012 ones have a different part number then the 2016 one. So would that mean it would be a lot more difficult to fit?

[@JesseRomano]

Where the white brackets are on the side of the bumper the bumper wont catch on the clipw what should i do ? They keep popping out

[@ReveMoto]

Hello. If your bumper keeps popping out, it means that either the clips on the bumper are broken, or the bumper retainer/bracket is broken. You probably have to replace the bracket, they are usually held on by a screw or two. They also usually run about $30, give or take, from the dealership. Let us know if that works!

[@shardesherrill4695]

Where did you get the side white brackets from?

[@ReveMoto]

We got those from Mitsubishi. They are called bumper retainers or bumper brackets. If I recall correctly, they were around $20-30 a piece.

[@techtravel8702]

Hi same bumber possible for 2008 GT Lancer

[@ReveMoto]

Yes! The process should be very similar, I think style of the bumper and fog lights are a bit different. Thank you for watching!

[@centycents]

Can you put this bumper into an older model lancer? Like a 2011 onwards model?

[@ReveMoto]

Hello! The fenders and hood go from 2008-2017. So, its very possible. The bumpers look to be the same shape. We recommend double and triple checking with Lancer forums to be sure. The headlights might be the same shape but the part numbers change bc of the bulb, or new look. Good luck!

[@centycents]

@@ReveMoto have tried, but its sort of mis alligned and didnt sit well on the part of the headlight there was a slight gap. Will mod and move the two welded metal brackets infront, at the area of the plate number is.

[@foreignstackz9387]

Is there a difference if I buy a lancer bumper without the holes?

[@ReveMoto]

Hello, I believe the only difference is the fog light styles. All lancers have fog lights, either the "tear drop" shape in this video or the thin horizontal lights. I believe you can buy fog light covers/caps, but the hole is still there. Everything else should be the same. Of course, the Evo has a different center grille & fog lights. Please subscribe, it helps us grow!

[@m0kax]

Hi, is this bumper compatible with 08-15 versions?

[@ReveMoto]

Hi Alex - great question! No, in this video we're working on this 2016-2017 Lancer front bumper www.revemoto.com/products/2016-mitsubishi-lancer-front-bumper-painted. But, if you're looking at a 2008-2015 model you're looking at a bumper that looks like this www.revemoto.com/products/2015-mitsubishi-lancer-front-bumper-painted. Are you looking to swap it out?

[@dchrissss]

Is there a way to install a tow hook on? If so where’s the location to do so

[@ReveMoto]

You have to have the bumper with the tow hitch whole. It's really easy to take off, it's snaps in. It's usually always on the passenger side.

[@dchrissss]

@@ReveMoto I have the bumper with the tow hitch but whats underneath is white foam and no hole

[@ReveMoto]

@@dchrissss that’s the bumper absorber. The tow hitch should just snap right in, assuming the bumper is still in good shape.

[@allencadiogan6957]

Just a quick question is a 2008 Front bumper Compatible with the 2017? Because i'm planning on converting my bumper.

[@ReveMoto]

It does appear to be very similar in design, but not 100% sure as we have not converted that model. Let’s us know it is though when you do the conversion

[@allencadiogan6957]

@@ReveMoto I see. Thank you!

[@allencadiogan6957]

Yeah. My friends just put the rubber that was on the bumper and it looked fine

[@centycents]

you didnt put on the two bolts in front, the ones behind the plate number?

[@ReveMoto]

Are you referring to the license plate? The customer asked not to put the bolts in there. She liked it without the license plate drilled in. I think she got a different style bracket. You can use the same bolts with a screwdriver and some force. You could also drill a small hole then make the holes bigger by screwnig in the bolts. Thank you for watching!

[@centycents]

@@ReveMoto was reffering to the bolts that goes into the crashbar.

[@ReveMoto]

@@centycents Hey. We didn't change out the crash bar bc the customer didn't have the money to replace it. We did put in the single bolt above the crash bar at 6:15. If that is not it, please give the time on the video.

[@centycents]

@@ReveMoto oh cool, thats what im pointing out and you got it. I just wonder how would the bumper hold out without those two screws. Thanks again.

[@sijaljosenowinbrunei5034]

How much

[@ReveMoto]

Hello Sijal. Please check out our link below for the bumper. If you are referring to the replacement, it takes about 2 hours and mechanics typically charge anywhere from $50+ and hour. Thank you for watching! bit.ly/2016LancerFrontBumper

[@Konner69]

this front bumper is so ugly compared to the 2015 style

[@ReveMoto]

Hello and a lot folks prefer the big grille look. We'd agree wit that too.

[@darryltuason8911]

is the bumper brackets the same?

[@ReveMoto]

We're not 100% sure but I believe the brackets are the same across the different models. To check, call your local Mitsubishi and ask them for the part number using your VIN. Thanks for watching!
