Sadly, I hit a raccoon crossing the road in the middle of the night at 70 mph. Totally dented in the front bumper right underneath the drivers side fog light. The fog light assembly seems to be loose now as well. I can order a replacement bumper for a decent price. My question is how to I get it painted to match my modern steel car?

Saw your reply from my thread decided to post another I'm trying to find. After your instructions it is indeed it is part of the lower grille as it slides right in. I am now looking into identifying what went here on the second pic. It looks like the bumper clips fell off. Reason I haven't taken it off is due me getting repair estimates plus insurance stuff.

i had this happen to me. there was a huge rock jutting out of the ground. didnt see it and hit it directly just below the fog lights. where i live in malaysia, they dont even remove the bumper. theyre Honda's outsourced painter, hence they have the exact color code to match and do a really good job blending in the new paint to the old. cost me ½day and USD 80

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.

Negative, eyebrows are connected to the grill that's connected to the bumper

Well dang. I spent like 4 hours removing and putting on my new grill today. I messed up putting on one of the eyebrows so now I’m gonna have to do that whole process again ?

Can you take a picture? it may just be that you just need to push one of the tabs in. pictures help.
No worries dude, first time i removed a bumper I took like 35-45 min or more now I can do it in 15 min flat.

ramdom bump but found this while searching. On my new 20 si the drivers side eyebrow I’ve noticed is quite loose. So to tighten it I need to remove the front bumper ?

The wings sit in the brackets of the headlights and then they are pinned by the 3 fasteners
