Taking the bumper off is easy - two screws, a dozen clips, and a tug on each side should do it. Use a small flat screw driver to help release the clips. There are 4 clips on top directly under the front of the hood and another 8 clips underneath. Pay attention to how the plastic pieces fit underneath. Some sit on top of the bumper cover, some underneath. The two screws are located in the front edge of the wheel wells. Takes about 10 min or less each way.

Post your questions in my Fit Blog
the new Accord? I want something a bit louder and meaner, like a freight train horn.
I'd like something a little louder and with more tune to it, not a freight train horn but a loud car horn, like an old Caddy or something, with 3 or 4 notes to it. Yeah, right.
I also don't want to pull the bumper myself. Have to wait until I can get another Fitfreaker to help me. Or something.
exactly. And Juliane, Koolkevin posted a DIY of removing the front bumper that makes it easyyyyyy. I understand your situation though lol I'm a little nervous myself but that won't stop me ;p

Yeah, but you're a GUY. I'm not a nail-polish-manicure type of person, but neither do I feel like unclipping the front bumper of my car just for grins. Maybe my older son can help me some Saturday. I have to find a horn that fits, plug and play, too. Not going to do a bunch of rewiring just for that.
I think I'm just gonna drop by Honda this week for an Accord horn assembly. I'll be removing my bumper in a week or so anyway once my retrofits come in weeee!
And I know you're a woman. I didn't want to just assume that you're weak or anything. Some woman take offense to that! :P

I'm not weak, but I've never taken a body part off a car before and I sure wouldn't want to attempt it by myself, even if it does just clip on and off. Anyway it's more fun when someone is helping...someone to share the beers afterward...(Not my son, he's only 17!) When I do "handy-man" stuff around the house (Daddy always wanted a boy), I impress the hell out of hubby. "Have I ever told you how much I appreciate you," he says...he doesn't do that stuff b/c his dad was anal and impatient and hubby is left-handed anyway. To me, it's just another task that you have to get the right tool for...and I love to go and buy more tools! I'm also CHEAP as anything and hate to pay someone to do something I could do myself. I haven't changed my own oil in years, though - too hard to dispose of the old oil safely.
