Default 05 STi front bumper removal

ok lastnight i decided to remove the front lips that i missed up when i first got the sti and then that led to removing the bumper for the fmic im getting soon. first let me say take your time this took me about 2 hours tinkering with clips and plastic screws that kept on striping just be prepard u will break some clips trust me they are old and brittle so dont feel bad.

tools
ratchet with 10 mm
flat head screwdriver or a panel popper
phillips screwdriver u may get lucky and not stip them

ok the first part is to remove the front grill by just clickin the tabs down

ok now you have to remove the clips under the grill those really dont break they come out kinda easy there are 9 in all under the grill

ok now that youve done that there are bolts and clips all under the front of the bumper i dont have a pic of the whole under front because there wasnt room but there is like 6 10mm bolts and like 6 clips
ok now u have those done u have to remove the screw clip on the fender liner and the clip on both sides
ok now that youve don that u have to remove a plastic screw all the way on the top on the inside it will be tight the both striped so i cut them with shears and will replace them later there is one one both sides

no one one side the the stock intake silencer is in the way so u have to remove it not hard to do just one 10 mm nut right behind the foglight cover and one under the hood and it can be manuvered out
now once you have done that if you look up under there it looks like it bolts on but its just a braket for clips and all you have to do is tug a little and the whole bumper comes off



shes nude now it looks kinda weird but thats how im driving it for now it feels kinda wierd to but good luck guys any questions comments or anything helpfull would be appreciated
