Hello, one and all. This bumper was not the easiest to do. Not because it's hard but because the customer did not want to buy a bumper reinforcement bar or the bar you see that is clearly damaged. Sometimes referred to as the "crash bar," is very important that it be changed out because it protects you and your car from collisions. That being said, the customer did not want to fix it, so we did our best off-camera to get this bumper to align correctly. We did it but replace your crash bar if you need to please, it's safer. This Lancer front bumper cover is quite easy to work on, however, it has a few hidden bolts! Sneaky-sneaky Mitsubishi! Don't worry, we'll show you where they are. Let us walk you through this.
TOOLS NEEDED:
10mm wrench or socket wrench, panel clip pliers or a flat screwdriver, and a Philips screwdriver
REMOVAL PROCESS:
There is just something about Japanese cars that make them so easy to work on. You must remove the radiator cover to access the top bolts holding the bumper on. There is a mix of clips and bolts up top. Don't lose or misplace your bolts! Mitsubishi did things a bit differently by placing the bolts on brackets behind the bumper. But, they're quite easy to spot. The bolt is right under the hood latch. We then proceeded to remove the corners of the bumper from the fender. This customer used wood screws to secure it after her accident. It worked but we don't recommend it. Once we took those silly screws out, there is a 10mm bolt also holding the bumper to the fender. It's only natural to move from there to the fender liner or splash shield. There are plenty of clips and bolts to remove but our customer lost them in her accident. We're sorry we could not demonstrate but we'll show you where they're supposed to be. Going back to the "ninja" bolts, there are two brackets that extend from the lower grille to the crash bar. Remove these bolts and you're pretty much home-free. The bumper is 99% off at this point but the wire harness runs on the top and is clipped to the bumper. Once that is detached, the bumper should fall off like meat off of Texas brisket! We knew you could do it all this time.

Glad I ran into this vid since almost every lancer vid I’ve seen for bumper cover removal only involved the CJ platform (2008-2015) and not CF (2016-2017), which while similar, aren’t exactly one to one.

[@ReveMoto]

You're welcome. You're right, same-same but different. Thank you for watching!

[@Lee-mv8mh]

Appreciate you guys! Did not realize the upper fender was attached the the bottom bumper like that. Also, love my Lancer, but the splash guards on them are the most annoying part of any car I’ve ever owned.

[@ReveMoto]

Yeah I am not a big fan of the mudguard. If I was rally racing definitely mudguard worthy

[@SamuraiR31]

That music tho lol. Mom, can we get the Mario Kart soundtrack? We have that at home. Just playin' - very informative! Thanks for the knowledge.

[@ReveMoto]

Haha, we love Mario Kart. Thank you for watching!

Excelente... Saludos desde PERÚ !!! y fracias ...

[@ReveMoto]

Gracias por verlo!

[@kavitup]

Maybe you should start with all the bottom bolts first 😊

[@ReveMoto]

Great point! Thank you for watching.

[@TinLeadHammer]

Informative! Does the same principle work for the Outlander from 2008 to 2012? I can see a hook-like clip under the headlight that popped out, which I want to fix. The Lancer does not seem to have such hooks.

[@ReveMoto]

That I don’t know unfortunately:( if you need parts for your car go to www.ReveMoto.com

[@Iamwhoam]

Is there another way to remove crash brace? Looks like yours was cut and I’m having a hard time with mine, doing a bumper replacement

[@ReveMoto]

Are you referring to the bumper reinforcement that is bent? You remove that by taking of the bolts. We used a pipe for more leverage. Let me know if this helps or if you are meaning something else. Thank you for watching!

[@cipherclump4594]

Hi, I'm trying to find the bolts that are removed at 7:07 in the video and just can't seem to find them. Is there any way you could help me find them to buy somewhere?

[@ReveMoto]

You can always go to the dealership, they have it all. You can also try and buy them at a hardware store. I am not sure about the size but if you have a bolt that fits, you can just match the size/length. But, the dealership is your best bet. Thank you for watching!

[@rodcole818]

Great video…thanks! Do you know if you have to remove the front bumper to remove the lower grille? Thanks!

[@ReveMoto]

Yes you do it’s hard to take it off without the bumper off

[@rodcole818]

Thank you for the reply..🤙

[@ReveMoto]

@@rodcole818 no problem! If you need this Lancer bumper, don't forget to check us out www.revemoto.com. Good luck with the swap!

[@mr.porkiepants9306]

Is it possible to fit 2014-15 bumper on a 2016 model? and do you think ralliart and gt parts fit an SE 2016 lancer?

[@ReveMoto]

Please check the Lancer forums but I believe so. The fender & hood show to be from 08-17. I think the fog lights and hood might be different. Double check the forums and thank you for watching!

[@cipherclump4594]

2014 bumper will fit a 2016. I'm not sure about the gt and ralliart parts but as long as it's not Evo parts it will probably fit.

[@ReveMoto]

@@cipherclump4594 Thank you for the insight!

[@antpizz_7]

did you ever end up trying to put a 2015 bumper on?

[@mr.porkiepants9306]

@@antpizz_7 I sold my car just a few months ago and bought a different one
