Hey guys,

I painted my back bumper but the company I used didn't reinstall it correctly because there is a gap between the bumper and the body of the car. I want to remove it then re-install it myself. Please post steps or url on how to remove the bumper.

Thx.

Ryan

I dont recall there being a DIY on the rear ever posted? If i remember correctly. there is 1 screw in each wheel well (there is a small notch cut out of the bumper (close to where it ends and meets the body in the wheel well) and like 2 clips on the underside by the spare tire well area and like 4 or so when you pop the trunk. Then it should just pop off

Thanks for your help...since there hasn't been a DIY for removing the rear bumper I'll take some pics when I do it this weekend.

You need to take it back to them and have them fix it right. Why risk messing it up..if they F*** it up, its on them..not you!

Just read about the meet and would love to attend but I have kids so it will be hard. I'll try...thanks for the info.

vzuptnguyen - do you know a good cheap Acura mechanic in the OC area?

RyanOfSoCal

CJITTY - You're right and I've done that, three times in fact. They finally got the paint right...this problem I can manage so I took the easy way out...I'm going to try it myself.

Does anyone know of a good paint/body shop I in OC area? I need to get my front bumper resprayed and my back touched up (some a-hole backed into me - again).
