Scion xB Front Bumper Removal - 2nd Gen Step by Step

Step by step process of taking off the front bumper cover on the 2011-2015 Scion xB. This will be very similar for the 2008-2010.
To get started, you will only need a ratchet/powered tool, a 10mm socket, a trim removal tool and a flathead screwdriver.
Start by taking off the upper radiator cover by pushing down on the circle in the clips and pull them out using the trim tool. Next, remove the cover and take out the remaining clips holding the bumper to the core support. After, remove four 10mm screws. Once that is finished, move to the wheel wells. Remove one 10mm screw and turn the clip below with the flathead screwdriver so the line is horizontal and carefully pull it out. After, move under the front of the car and begin to remove eight 10mm screws that hold the bumper cover to the black undershields. Finally, grab on to the edge of the bumper near the front wheels and pull firmly towards you to disengage the clips. Now the bumper should be free and can be removed. If you have a 2013, 2014 or 2015, don't forget to disconnect the LED accent lights in the bumper.

This was really helpful. Thank you!

Literally just what I was looking for! Love how you didn’t damage the bumper or cut bolts. I saw other videos that did such when removing the bumper. Thanks again!

I fallowed your instructions to remove the bumper and it actually worked out perfect. I Ziplocked each set on screws and did the steps backward to reinstall it. Thanks a lot

[@thebluexb]

Where or what website did u get your bumper from? Saving this video for installation 😁

[@mrgurwitz8832]

Do you need to take the whole bumper off to replace the white colored bumper brackets? My bumper is loose on both sides.

I wish I could find the vertical light inserts for my XB.

[@hamidizadi]

Does anyone know where to purchase that black wheel nut cover?

[@DancinShiGuy]

At one minute and 37 seconds you tell us to turn the pop tab sideways horizontal and then? How do we remove it

...was this vid filmed before you installed the fog lights?

[@thebluexb]

Filmed at the same time. I just took clips from the fog light video to make this one

[@oreally8605]

Any reason you're taking it off?
