I am having a difficult time trying to figure out how to replace the old orange relfectors with these new JDM ones. The instructions say to take bumper off and others say it can be done without the removal of the bumper. My question is, "how the heck can this be done without the removal of the bumper?" And if it requires the removal of the bumper, how does one take the splash gaurds off? Thankz!

 

why do you need to remove the splash guards to take off the front bumper?

 

my recommendation is to search the forums.

 

... just tagging along ... I hope to get new front reflectors one day ...

 

take off your bumper to change it... it has pictures with the japanese instructions doesnt it?

if you have the front "aero" piece on the bottom you need to take that piece off first

 

There's a good how-to posted somewhere. You don't have to remove the bumper. Prepare to get scuffed up a bit, unless you have really small hands. Good luck.

 

Jack the car up and with the lower splash guard removed, it can be done without removing the bumper. But... the passenger side one will be near impossible if you don't have this one screwdriver to do it... it looks kinda like a squared S... it's about 5"? long and the two ends are bent at 90degrees so you can squeeze between bumper and washer fluid resevoir. Without removing the bumper, you'll most likely spend 90% of the time on the passenger side.

-edit-
Here's what the screwdriver looks like...

 

I finally got it! Thanks dkny boi! Will post pics soon...
