Replacing horn = removing bumper?
I'd like to know for sure if replacing the stock horn requires removal of the front bumper.
Any of you who have done this please chime in. Thanks. |
Yup! But you don't have to take the whole thing off... Just the bolts on top
|
you can just crawl under the car and pull off some plastic pieces without taking off the bumper but it is easier to pull the bumper.

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.

Great! Thanks for the tips. It's not for my car, but for my dad's 07. He wants to replace the horn.
|
yes no worries about taking the bumper off, its so easy... just follow koolkev's diy!
:wavey: haha all you need is a phillips and a flathead screw driver.. |
i think im going to get a nicer horn next season. :)

The horn needs some balls. Anyone know the loudest compact horn that will fit as a direct fit?

I also don't want to pull the bumper myself. :( Have to wait until I can get another Fitfreaker to help me. Or something. |

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 |

Some woman take offense to that! :P :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: 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. What retrofits are you getting? |
