My daughter who just started driving side swiped the rear bumper of another car, so I thought this would be a great opportunity for her to learn how to fix cars. Here first job was to find a aftermarket bumper. Second was to find a video and this one is great and now we will install the new bumper cover. Thanks for the help!
Im glad i could help. Just remember if something does not go easy do not use force, find whats holding the bumper back and most likely its som plastic clip. You can do it, thank you for positive feedback.
Great job and video. I bought a used car and it looks like they did a half-assed job in putting a new bumper on. They jammed it in some places and it is popping back out and they lost like half the retainers and left it like that. I am surprised the grill didn't just fall off.
Thank you for watching my video, i hope it was helpful. As you see it is not that difficult to do it yourself, just order new pre painted bumper and DIY.
What am I supposed to do when the holes don't line up? If I line up the 10mm holes then both of the wheel well holes are short by 3/8". If I line up one of the wheel well holes and try to work my way across, none of the other 10mm holes or other wheel well hole lines up. It's not even close. The bumper isn't hung up on anything either, the holes just don't match.
For those having issues with connecting back in the phillip heads screws in the wheel well, cut out a section that can clear the screw but not the screw head. My front bumper screw hole did not align with the other 2 that it needs to be sandwiched in. So I took a razor blade and cut out a section so the screw could clear through and simply pinch the bumper in. Took me a whole day, because I was trying to figure out a different solution instead of cutting. But nothing would work, except that. Remember cut a SMALL section, Just enough so the screw length can get to the hole it needs to.
Got mine a couple days ago i was kinda pissed cuz it came like that didnt know it came packaged like that. I just unwrapped it n left it alone all day and it unfolded by itself
Yes thats how they are shipping these new bumpers. I was also surprised when i got mine. It looks perfect on the car and had no issues so far with any pain chipping away.
Lol yea same here i was like wtf n was goin to send it back n send an email like wtf. N just left it in the living room by the night time i seen it expanded on its own n was like oh okay

@@nazarettos6987 I’ve ordered some but couldn’t get them to work on the emblem attaching it to the bumper. It was actually 2 different size 10mm and 8mm and the plastic screw top ones which did work but the others seem not to hold it in place
@@nazarettos6987 that's good to hear bro I'm in somewhat of a project myself converting my 05 accords front bumper for and 06/07 bumper and slapping fogs on there as well since the 03-05 sedan models didn't come with the fog holes

Great idea
My metal “sliding thing” is bent downward slightly. Can I bend it back up somehow or should I replace it before installing my new bumper?

What seller did you get this from on eBay?
It's from BMI auto in Michigan. This is my 3rd bumper from them,they do good job. These bumpers shipped folded so you have have to heat them up.
@@nazarettos6987 I'm late to the party, but isn't it MBI Auto in Michigan? Asking because there is an MBI Auto from Michigan selling on Ebay.
Who was the seller on eBay?
Absolutely amazing, you can also find them on Amazon MBI auto
@@nazarettos6987 Thanks 👍🏻
The blow dryer noise and the echo compromise the sound quality.
I have to replace a bumper cap on the same car. A 2007 Accord. What's the name of the company that you bought the pre painted bumper from?
bumpersthatdeliver.com/ they are located in Michigan. I ordered on Ebay and shipping was free.
Awesome video thank you
Thanks for positive feedback
Your discount code is $20, not 20%.
You were better off getting one ftom your local junkyard for half the price and OEM original
Still looking like new, never had issues with aftermarket.

It would be cheaper if you painted it you're self.
Yes I agree,but 200$ prepainted bumper and free shipping thats good deal. A lot of time was saved also.
