we're going to show you how to replace your 2018 honda accord front bumper it's super
easy okay so we're sticking with the easy stuff first
so we're gonna move with the top grille again this is broken
customer didn't want to replace it so we're going to see if we can just salvage this and then
snap it on because once we get it on the bumper
the plastic clips and screws are going to hold it onto the frame of the car
so the key is just to get the the non-broken side in
you want to hear it snap
that's what you want so it's in pretty well so i got my hand back here holding it and i'm pushing
it so i'm putting exerting force from both sides this is on pretty well obviously it's broken here
so it's going to be loose um so that's in so we have three pieces in now we have to get
the bottom grille and the two engine cover pieces on
so let's flip this around
gently it's kind of heavy when you have all the stuff on it and we should just say that anytime
you're working with a plastic bumper whether it's oem or aftermarket it doesn't matter it's the
nature of the plastic this particular bumper it's sort of flimsy until you start putting stuff on
it compared to like a honda pilot which is a lot thicker sturdier it's more rigid it's not going to
move as much as this honda okay so we're going to install the grilles and stuff on the front bumper
so i did make a mistake i noticed that the fog lights daytime running lights extend over
to the bottom grill and go under it or over it actually so you have to put in the bottom grille
first on this install so that's what we're gonna do bottom grille first and then you do
the uh fog lights gonna just set it in place it should go in pretty easily we're not forcing it in
it already snapped on that side we're just kind of setting it there
i'm going to flip it to make sure that the clips all right see they're not even in
i'm doing or i'm trying to do is set it on this bottom rim of the bumper
because that's a good place to hold it and then this part i have to get these clips in
the bottom clips are kind of behind here up so i'm pulling them up or
towards myself you can kind of see the clips come in i hope you can see it
once they get in there you should be okay
sometimes you just gotta finagle it a little bit so we got the sliding ones in which is important
okay so the clips are in now bumper should be a little bit sturdier
since we have the grilles in so let me show you what i was talking about
see the fog light is going to extend over here and it's going to cover this and also the same
screw that holds in the grille it's going to hold in the fog light cover on this end here so let's
put that in just you know match the corresponding flogger with the side it's pretty easy if you're
having issues the r is for passenger side right side the l will be for the left side driver's side
and again i'm just kind of pushing it in a little bit
i am not forcing it so you don't want to break any plastic clips or anything like that
there is a guide pin right here that goes in as well as a bracket
and there you go i just pushed it in the bumper is flimsy made out of plastic
it's a flimsy it's made out of plastic so what i'm doing is i'm pulling with my left hand if
you can see it but i'm pulling it out or up kind of pulling extending the bumper putting some uh
strain on it so it's straighter and then i'm pushing it in and that's what allowed it to
snap in place so this should be good and i'm gonna do that well you're gonna do that we're
both gonna do it to the other side but i'm not going to show you you should know how to do it
okay so lastly we're going to be putting on the bottom plates there's two of them
i took them off maybe you didn't have to but there are two screws right here that hold the first
plate and the second plate together and then what holds those plates together are push pins so maybe
you didn't have to take this off you could just probably released it from the screws right here
but either way it slots in this way with this shelf
going in and you can line it up with the screws
i'll show you in a second this is kind of hard for you to see and for me to do at the same time
so now we're going to put in those screws if you're like me and you forget everything that you
do right after you do it it's best just to get all the screws out that you don't just drop to
that you had just so you can line them up all these screws are the same same size same color
same everything so that way we know it goes into the corresponding holes we took it out of
if you do remember there are two screws i took out of the license plate holder but those are
like really big completely different screws than these so we're going to put these in
so let's show you a close-up
there are the spots with the screws holding the bottom piece
to the lower grille and then we're going to insert two more
here for the top part of the lower grille and the uh headlights that's what holds it in
so that is four screws total we had a total of six oh also i should point out maybe you
guys some of you guys are wondering why i'm not using uh impact tool impact gun uh it's
because these screws obviously are metal this is plastic the impact guns have a lot of torque
so if you do it too strong or too fast you may strip the plastic where the screw goes into and
then you're just going to ruin it and it'll be useless so it's just to best best to do it by hand
and then lastly we're going to put the last screw on there on both ends and then we're
done with the bottom grille well at least we're done with securing the bottom grill at least
okay so we're going to work on the lower part of the grill or sorry not the grill well it
is the grill but it's the lower shield cover for the car it's going to slide in
under the bumper so here we're going to push it in a little bit and line up the holes for the clips
so kind of just push this one up and then snap this one in
and just line the holes up
so once we start lining it up it should be fine
there we go
so it kind of sits snugly
along the pattern of the bumper if you can see it this is like a ridge and it goes
same pattern as the bumpers just kind of sit it in there and then start putting those clips in
you put in a ziplock bag because you're smarter
than i am wearing a cup or something and not your pocket
i'm just going to put in one clip
just to hold it in place it's not you know moving around and
then we're going to work our way to the other opposite side opposite end
so make sure that the head is out of the plastic pen
when you're pushing these in and then you push in like a button it should snap
sometimes they don't snap but it'll go in these are plastic so they get yet old
alright so that is the front bumper for the 2017 honda accord installing all the grilles and the
fog lights bezels it's always the longest part taking the bumper on off is the easiest
so now we just have to mount it onto the car so that's what we're gonna do
okay so before we mount the bumper uh you wanna check your brackets under the headlight and on
the fender just to make sure they're not broken if you remember earlier in the video our headlight
bracket is busted so we're just going to remove that with the bolts and then put a new one on
and it's a 10 millimeter so got a lot of honda they always keep it keep it simple
now with this you can use an impact gun probably a lot faster
i don't feel like getting the one we have just gonna put this here
so i just took off the screw up here
just to see what's holding on this bracket i'm not completely taking the
okay so this is not really part of the bumper install process just in case your bumper does get
broken uh sometimes the headlight will get broken on the side of the impact so what i'm doing is
just installing the bracket for the bottom of the headlight what that does it attaches to the side
right here on the frame and then underneath the headlight here it goes straight in all the way
and those are three bolts so i'm just gonna put that in off camera so you do not
so you don't get bored and then we're gonna put the bumper on okay
so make sure you check your brackets when you're installing uh doing a bumper install for example
sometimes they break you know they're made out of plastic they're designed to break everything
on new cars is designed to break right away they say it's for impact purposes which it is but also
you know you get to buy more stuff so yeah that goes on under the headlight like i said before one
two screws and there's one on the tip of the
headlight right there but it goes all the way back we need an extension so we're just gonna mount the
bumper we're gonna have a little help on that side it's broken right here so you just hold up yeah
so this side is kind of on already oh now it's off so you got to get the grille over the headlights
and then just snap it in under the headlight
and then you snap it under the fenders and it should
all right so moving to the fender liner and securing that uh with the two bolts seems a
lot easier than it looks but for me it actually wasn't so i hope for you that it's super easy
it's just two phillips screws that you have to insert in the bumper into the fender liner in the
back so make sure the fender fender liner isn't behind the bumper the problem is that there's a
clip that threads the screws in that attaches to the fender liner and the fender liner is super
flimsy so it was for me it was difficult just to line up the holes to get it back there
but hopefully you can do a lot better than i can and get it in quicker i just make sure that the
fender liner is behind the bumper and then next we're not going to show you how to do it because
you should it's pretty self-explanatory but you're going to install all the clips on the bottom of
the bumper so we're just going to show you real quick how all these
bottom pieces kind of work there is a splash piece on the back that we didn't remove that goes
i guess on top of the bottom bumper cover see so you want to insert it up that way
and then the fender liner as well goes behind that or over it or yeah so i'm
tucking it behind the bumper so you want to line up all the holes for these three pieces
and insert those clips to secure it and just do it across the whole bumper all right so we're going
to move to the radiator cover and put on the clips there are two though these really wide round ones
compared to these with the indention on it the dimple in the center uh these flat ones
go on the very end of the grille so we're just gonna set that in punch it down
and we're going to situate the creator grill on top
don't forget the latch goes in between that and we're going to do this side first
and this is super easy just insert all the clips in so they should sit in
without you pushing the button in
since you got them in just push it down this should go down easily it'll clamp in
okay so now we have the brown radiator covers on clips are in bottom clips are situated they're in
fog lights everything's plugged in uh side of the bumper like i said this was difficult to
do but make sure you screw in these two little bolts super easy great thing very easy to do
so yeah that's how you do 2017 honda accord
front bumper installation we hope you enjoyed it like it please
