Help! Bumper Trim Cover Replacement

[Icantthinkof1]

Hello all. Was Doing some spirited country driving and hit a rabbit that darted out last second. The piece that got damaged is the Front bumper trim cover passenger side. FR3Z-17E810-AB seems to be the piece that got damaged. Does anyone know what I need to do get the old one off and a new one put on? Does just the splitter need to come off to pop it out or do I need to remove the bumper? TIA for your responses.

Something like that will require taking the bumper off more than likely to get to the backside properly.

That's what I was thinking too..Oh well at least it was just the trim piece. Thanks for the reply

It's clipped in and also has a bolt on the backside. I just did it for the same reason. The bumper has to come off and that damn trim doesn't just pop out.. I had to grind the old trim clips off to get it off..

That was a hell of a rabbit, or you were going Mach 1!

Why not get your insurance coverage to pay for it? If like mine at State Farm, no points against you.

Ha! I was going to say the same thing!

Looks like OP’s Cobra has a little Hare on its face…

Isn't that busted piece the ABS plastic? I’m surprised it broke so easily, because it’s not flimsy or thin.

Yeah...Might of been going a tad bit fast.

Don't like insurance getting involved for something minor like this. I pamper my cars and it tore me up to see this afterward. I have a friend that is a bodyman that will pop it off and put it on for me
