lol, I just removed the bumper on my 2020 STI and none of the clips came off with ease like in this video. There were so many small rocks and dirt particles that get trapped in the clips making it very difficult to pry off - and this is with the use of a clip removal tool. The problem is the dirt doesn't allow the pin in the middle to come out fully. What a fucking headache. The clips on the car in the video are obviously brand spankin' new.
Really appreciated this video, DJ. So detailed and well explained. Too often how-to videos aren’t detailed enough. Usually, it is only the removal part, without explaining how to re-install the parts. Will continue to support your channel and Subiebros.
Thanks Tony! Since the front bumper removal is such a common task for many modifications, I thought this would be better to reference this detailed video going forward rather than explaining how to remove the front bumper for every video that requires it.
Great little video. I suggest taping up the side edges of the bumper so they dont scratch the fender when separated. Tends to want to ride up. Also my 15 has an additional lower and different clip on the bottom of the side of the bumper holding my oem lip kit
Thanks for the detailed video! I've taken off a few bumpers in my time, but this was a finicky one! I had to reference the video a couple of times in the process.
Thanks for making this great video, I'm an idiot when it comes to following instructions, now I feel like I'm 100% smarter. Gonna refer to this video a lot tonight when I install my Hella horns.
Thank you! I'm going to put in a fog light kit and needed to see this first. Can anyone confirm if the nine clips on the bottom are the same type for 2021 STI Base? The part that seems the most intimidating is once you have to start detaching and it 'pops' like if you broke something. It now seems possible wi th one person to do. Thanks!
There are tabs that have to go in between the headlight and the black bracket under them, you may want to check you aligned these correctly. It is possible to force them into an incorrect position.
