No you have to take the whole bumper off.
If you take your time and use a plastic pry tool you shouldn't break them. I actually broke some of the black tabs on the car side, not the bumper, and replacing them was easy and cheap like a $20 part.

I just had someone do a hit and run on my Civic and one of the tabs below the headlight that holds the bumper on broke. Is this the clip you are referring to here? The part that broke was black plastic, the bumper part looks unharmed.
Yes that's the part it's just 2 bolts holding the piece onto the headlights. Easy to DIY or dealer to do.
Thank you so much for the reply! I'm so relieved that these parts are cheap to replace... I thought I was going to have to shell out to replace the entire bumper or one of the headlights!
Haha yeah I was thinking the same thing when I broke mine. Even the side clips can be replaced. Great design by Honda.
Should beHey I know this is a old post but are those the number for these clips? Cause I broke one of them.
It's possible they might have an aftermarket one I haven't looked but if you want the best fit oem is the way to go. Should cost less than a dollar.
Thank you so much! A truck with a trailer hitch whacked me and I wasn't sure if I could fix it myself. This post is extremely helpful and I feel confident moving forward. Damage wasn't too bad, but enough to want it fixed.This is simple to accomplish. Don't be turned away by the bumper removal.
Here are the clip locations in yellow.
Be gentle. Honda didnt spend to much time designing these to be robust.
These are the screw locations in red.
Honda H Emblem is held on by these plus adhesive.
All screws are accessible through the back side, so the bumper has to be removed.
Hope this helps out everyone.
P.S.- anyone know of a rear roof spoiler that fits the 2 door coupe? I like ikon motorsports design but it's only for sedan.
