Using a plastic trim tool, remove all of the plastic clips along the top edge of the bumper. We'll then remove the 10 millimeter screw at the top corner of the bumper bracket on each side. We are bringing our vehicle up on the lift to make it easier to show you what's going on, but you should be able to do this either with the vehicle on the ground or the front end raised slightly.

Clearly we're removing our bumper because the vehicle was in a collision, but if your bumper is intact, you would have two 10 millimeter bolts right about here. Ours ripped out of the bumper, so we'll just remove those so we have them out when our new one goes on. We removed the wheel to make it easier to show you what we're doing, but you should be able to access this with the wheel on. We're going to use a T20 Torx driver. You can do this either as a screw driver or with a ratchet. Remove the three T20 Torx bolts in each wheel well.

Peel back the wheel well liner and remove the 10 millimeter bolt with the 10 millimeter socket ratchet. You'll also need a seven millimeter socket ratchet to remove this bolt. You'll need to get up a little higher to remove the three 10 millimeter bolts up on the front edge of the fender. We'll do that with a 10 millimeter socket ratchet. We're missing our wheel well liner over here from the collision. Other than that, we'll repeat these steps on the opposite side. Carefully pull the bumper back. Once you've got a little slack on there, disconnect the bumper harness and remove it from the vehicle.

We're going to disconnect the fog light, as well as the turn signal, or a side marker. It may be easier to just unscrew that bulb. Disconnect it that way. Just put that back there so we don't lose it, and then we'll disconnect these connectors, as well.

Now our bumper will also require us to remove our old stiffening bracket here, as well as our upper and lower grill. Our lower grill was destroyed, so we have a new one we're going to put in, but it will be removed the same way that the upper grille is. All these go pretty much the same. Just pry out on these clips with a small flat blade screwdriver. You don't want to do this in the cold because they will snap and break on you. Then just lift. Then we'll go down and just repeat this process on all the clips.

We'll need to pop these metal retaining clips off of our grille. Just pry up on the little barbed tabs and lift them off the plastic. Then these plastic hooks will all come out the same way they did with our stiffener.

Line up the upper grille and lock the plastic tabs into place. Once the grilles are in, you can install the stiffener. Don't forget to reinstall the metal lock retainers.

Install your fog light. Push the tabs through until they lock into place. Line up your fog light bezel. Pop that in until it locks as well. We'll repeat these steps on the opposite side. Reinstall the marker lights by laying them in sideways, front first, and then snapping the rear into place. Reinstall the harness connecting your turn signal on the driver’s side as well as the fog light.

Reinstall the main electrical connector to the front bumper. Then line up the tabs on the fender and slide each side of the bumper into place. Reinstall the 10 millimeter bolt into the bumper bracket. Reinstall the seven millimeter screw at the bottom of the bumper bracket. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.

Resecure your wheel well liner with your three T20 Torx screws. Line up and reinstall the two 10 millimeter screws at the bottom of the bumper as well. Reinstall your plastic clips by popping them into the hole and then pushing the top down. There are three on each side of the hood latch. Reinstall the 10 millimeter bolt in the top corner on each side of the bumper.
