Remove the 2008 Impreza Front Bumer

Boots · 10-11-2008, 03:55 PM

Sorry about posting this, I know there has been stuff on this before and i've been looking around for awhile now but haven't had any success. But can you guys help me out. maybe someone has a link to a guide that shows how to do this? Im trying to install a new grille on my '08 but it looks like i have to get the front bumper off to unscrew the grille completely. Any help on this would be appreciated very much!

Take the 4 clips off the top of the grille and the 4 right behind it. It'll let you pull the grille back enough to get a small screwdriver in there and take off the 4 philips screws holding the grille in. Reverse to install.

Yea, the link mert34 provided up above is spot on. No need to jack up the car. Wish I would've seen this guide b4 I attempted because I would've had an idea how many clips I needed to remove. There were a few times I thought there were some non visible clips I couldn't see but I just needed to pull the bumper out with some gentle force because it was wedged in there pretty good. Don't forget to plug in your fogs if you've got em.
