How to Remove and Replace the Rear Bumper on a 2010–2013 Chevy Camaro

by Rolando Balmaceda on Apr 15 2025
If you're looking to replace a damaged rear bumper or simply refresh the look of your Chevrolet Camaro, this step-by-step guide will walk you through how to remove and install the rear bumper cover on a 2010–2013 Chevy Camaro. Whether you're tackling a collision repair, upgrading to aftermarket body parts, or swapping in a freshly painted bumper, we’ve got you covered with clear instructions, helpful tips, and the tools you’ll need to get it done right. Tools Needed: Flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool Torx bit set (T15 or T20) 7mm socket 10mm socket and ratchet Rivet gun (if replacing the bumper bracket) Drill (to remove factory rivets, if applicable) Magnetic socket (recommended for taillight nuts) Heat gun or hair dryer (for removing adhesive trim pieces) Zip-lock bags or containers (for organizing hardware) 🚗 Replace your 2010–2013 Chevy Camaro rear bumper with a pre-painted one! Shop Pre-Painted Rear Bumper for 2010–2013 Chevy Camaro Step by Step Instructions: Begin by opening the trunk to access the bumper cover from the top. This will expose the fasteners along the upper edge of the bumper cover near the trunk opening. Locate and remove the six plastic clips positioned near the trunk opening—three on each side. Use a flathead screwdriver or a trim removal tool to pry them up carefully. Next, remove the small triangular trim piece on each side of the trunk opening, which covers the edge of the bumper cover. These typically pop off with gentle pressure. Keep all clips and trim pieces stored safely for reinstallation. Tip: Use a small container or a zip-lock bag to label and store your hardware. Turn the front wheels outward to give yourself better access to the rear wheel wells. This will make it easier to reach the screws securing the inner edges of the bumper cover. Using a Torx bit (usually T15 or T20), remove the three screws inside each rear wheel well. These screws secure the bumper to the inner fender liner and must be removed on both sides. Tip: Keep these screws separate from the top clips to avoid confusion later. Gently pull the corner of the bumper outward to release it from the clips behind the rear wheels. Apply steady, even pressure to avoid cracking the bumper or snapping any mounting tabs. Carefully release the two clips located near each taillight by pulling the bumper outward and upward, and then unclip the additional fasteners near the trunk latch along the center upper edge of the bumper. These clips help secure the bumper to the body at the upper sides and top center area. Work from one side to the other, gently loosening each clip to keep the bumper from flexing unevenly. Disconnect the wiring harnesses connected to the bumper components, including reverse lights, side marker lights, and parking sensors if equipped. Use caution when unplugging connectors to avoid breaking any tabs. Tip: If connectors are tight, use a small pick tool to gently lift the locking tab while pulling the connector apart. Remove the bulbs from the light housings before fully separating the bumper from the vehicle. Twist and pull each bulb socket from the reverse lights and side markers to detach them. This prevents damage to the bulbs and gives you a cleaner disassembly. Remove the bezels from the bumper by pressing the tabs on the inside and gently pushing them outward. These bezels typically surround the reverse lights or trim openings and can be released with light pressure. Tip: Use a trim tool or flathead screwdriver carefully to assist with stubborn clips. Remove the reverse lights from the bumper by taking out the three 7mm bolts on each side and sliding the lights out. Make sure to remove them all and store the bolts and lights safely until they are transferred to the new bumper. Remove the side marker lenses from the bumper by pushing the retaining clip and sliding each lens out through the front. This is typically done with firm, controlled pressure. Tip: If the clip is tight, use a small flathead screwdriver to help release it. Using a 10mm socket, remove the three nuts securing each tail light and carefully pull the tail light housings straight out. Once removed, place them on a soft surface to avoid scratching the lenses or damaging the wiring. Remove the four gold-colored fasteners securing the metal impact bar cover or reinforcement shield. These fasteners are located along the middle rear section, behind where the bumper sits. Use the appropriate socket or wrench to remove each one. Tip: Keep these in a separate container as they differ from the plastic trim clips and light hardware. If your vehicle has a lower valance or ground effects trim piece attached to the bumper, remove it by unfastening the clips or gently peeling away the double-sided tape. Tip: You can use automotive-grade double-sided tape (such as 3M) when reinstalling the valance later for a secure bond. Then, separate the lower valance from the bumper cover by working along the seam where it is attached. Tip: A heat gun or hair dryer can help soften the adhesive and make removal easier without damaging the plastic. Separate the parking sensors from their plastic mounting brackets by gently prying the clips loose. Use a small flathead screwdriver if needed. Tip: If your old bumper is cracked or damaged, inspect the sensor wires closely to ensure they weren’t pulled or torn loose during removal. This prepares the sensors for transfer to the new bumper. Install the parking sensors into the new bumper by snapping each one into its original bracket position. Make sure they are fully seated and aligned properly to function correctly. Reinstall the reverse lights, side markers, taillights, parking sensors, and lower valance (if applicable) onto the new bumper cover. Make sure all components are installed in the correct positions and securely clipped or bolted into place. Tip: If any lights or sensors are missing or damaged, source replacements before reinstallation to avoid incomplete functionality. Reconnect the wiring harnesses to the reverse lights, side markers, and parking sensors. Make sure each connector is fully seated and clicks into place. Tip: Double-check wire routing to ensure nothing gets pinched during bumper installation. Connect the lower valance to the upper bumper using double-sided tape and the built-in alignment tabs. Press it firmly along the seam to ensure a secure fit. Some models may also have clips to help hold it in place. Install the license plate light and any related trim pieces into the new bumper cover before mounting it to the car. These components snap into place from behind the bumper and should be fully seated before installation. Install the new rear bumper retainer (bracket) using a rivet gun. Align it with the mounting holes on the vehicle and secure it by installing the rivets. This should be done before installing the bumper, as the bracket helps support the bumper during final fitment. Reinstall the three Torx screws in each rear wheel well to secure the lower corners of the bumper. Use the same Torx bit and be careful not to overtighten the screws. Reinsert the upper plastic clips into the bumper cover along the trunk edge. These help secure the top portion of the bumper. Tip: The original long plastic trim piece that snaps over these clips may be missing—it’s meant to cover and finish this area for a cleaner look. Lift and install the bumper cover onto the rear of the vehicle. Use the taillight cutouts, tabs, and alignment guides to position it properly. Begin by aligning the center top section under the trunk edge, then press inward until the clips snap into place. Continue guiding and pressing the bumper along both sides until it sits flush. Tip: It helps to have an extra set of hands to support and stabilize the bumper during this step. Reconnect the taillight wiring harnesses by plugging each connector into the back of the taillight housing. Press firmly until the connectors click into place, ensuring a secure fit. This step must be completed before reinstalling the taillight housings. Tip: Gently tug on the connector after seating it to confirm it's locked in. Press along the sides of the bumper to fully seat the clips into place. Work from the rear corners forward, applying firm pressure where the bumper meets the body panel. You should hear or feel the clips snap in as they engage. Tip: Check both sides for consistent panel gaps to ensure a factory-fit finish. Reinstall the small triangular trim piece on each side of the trunk opening. Once both are snapped in, tighten the three 10mm nuts on each taillight to secure them. Do a final walkaround of your Camaro. Press along the bumper edges to ensure everything is clipped in securely. Test all lighting functions—taillights, reverse lights, and side markers—as well as your parking sensors if equipped. Check for even panel gaps and make sure the trunk opens and closes without obstruction.

How to Replace Chrome End Caps with Painted Ones on a 2014-2021 Toyota Tundra

by Production Team on Apr 15 2025
Upgrading your Toyota Tundra’s chrome bumper end caps to painted-to-match ones is a sharp visual mod you can DIY. In this step-by-step guide, we walk through the process shown by Rolando from ReveMoto, along with helpful insights he shares along the way. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned DIYer, this guide will help make your swap go smoothly. Tools Required Panel removal tool or flathead screwdriver 10mm socket and ratchet 12mm socket Extension bar for hard-to-reach bolts Phillips screwdriver Utility knife or Dremel tool (for trimming plastic) Flathead screwdriver (for clips) Safety gloves (recommended) 🛠️ Convert your 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma chrome end cap to a paint-to-match upgrade! Shop Tacoma Rear Bumper End Cap Conversion Step-by-Step Instructions Use a panel removal tool—or if you don’t have one, a flathead screwdriver works just fine—to remove the plastic push pins in the wheel well. Remove two 10mm bolts and one 12mm bolt located underneath the bumper near the fender liner. Open the hood. Remove four 10mm bolts along the top of the grille and two push pins near each headlight. Carefully pull the grille out and unplug the sensor behind it. Go slow here to avoid damaging the sensor wiring. Remove two 10mm bolts above the end cap, located on the headlight filler panel. Remove the push pins securing the filler panel above the end cap. Pull the panel outward and unplug the fog light wires if connected. Remove multiple bolts behind the headlight filler, including at least two 10mm bolts and one 12mm bolt. Under the front bumper, remove three 10mm bolts in the lower valance area. Remove the remaining upper bolts and a push pin to fully release the bumper. Gently pull the front bumper off and place it on a soft surface. A friend can help here—it’s bulky. Locate and remove four 10mm bolts holding the chrome end cap to the bumper reinforcement. Carefully lift and remove the end cap.  Repeat the same removal process on the opposite side. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw securing the fog light housing. Push the fog light back and downward to release it from the housing. Remove the black fog light mounting bracket by pinching and pulling it free from the bumper panel. Unclip and disconnect the fog light sensor by pressing the locking tab and gently pulling it apart. Use a flathead to remove any additional clips or accessories from the end cap. Trim the excess plastic tab on the back of the new painted end cap using a utility knife or Dremel. Saw carefully along the edge until the piece is cleanly removed. Work slowly and cut away from your hands. Insert the black sensor bezel into the end cap, pressing it in until it snaps securely. Trim any plastic around the opening if needed. Then reinstall the fog light and secure it with the original screws. Flip the cap upside down and install the sensor mount bracket from the back side of the black sensor bezel. Ensure it fits snugly into place and all tabs are secured. If a tab doesn’t click in, check for misalignment. Insert the parking sensor into the back of the black sensor bezel. If it doesn’t fit snugly, lightly shave the plastic prongs. Rotate the clip until it locks firmly with no movement. Install the metal reinforcement brackets inside the painted end cap, aligning them with the holes. These provide added stability and help secure the bumper edge. Temporarily secure the bumper to the top of the reinforcement bar with one grey bolt to hold it in place during alignment. This will help hold it in place while you align the rest of the components. Slide the front bumper back over the bumper reinforcement bar and check that everything fits evenly. Adjust the fog light trim or grommets as needed to allow the bumper to sit flush. If it’s stuck, pull the trim piece down gently to allow clearance. Reinstall the following bolts: The four 10mm bolts from Step 4 (top of the grille area) The two 10mm bolts and one 12mm bolt from Step 2 (underneath the bumper) The three 10mm bolts from Step 10 (lower valance area) Any remaining push pins and bolts from Step 11 (upper bumper area) The lower bolt with the spring-style bracket at the bottom of the end cap Note: Depending on how the new end caps and brackets align, not all bolts may need to be reinstalled. Only reinstall those that fit properly and secure the bumper firmly. Once both end caps are installed, reinstall the grille by aligning it with the top mounting points. Reconnect the sensor that was unplugged in Step 5, then secure the grille using the four 10mm bolts and two push pins removed earlier. Also, double-check that the parking sensors on both end caps are fully inserted, connected, and secure. You're Done! Your Tundra now has a clean, color-matched look with freshly installed painted end caps. This upgrade not only looks better than chrome—it adds a personalized touch to your vehicle.

Shop Painted Fender for Tesla Model Y Step by Step Guide: Start by removing the push pin near the fender trim using a panel removal tool or a flathead screwdriver. Pull off the fender trim piece carefully; it should come off easily as it’s held in place by clips. Locate the 10mm bolt underneath the fender trim piece and remove it using a socket wrench. Slightly pull back the front bumper to reveal a hidden 10mm bolt near the wheel well and remove that bolt. Continue to remove any other visible 10mm bolts behind the bumper in the same area. Use a plastic tool to gently pry off the side marker light from the fender. Disconnect the side marker by pressing the clips and pulling the plug free. Move to the lower section of the fender and remove the 10mm bolt located near the mud flap. Detach the mud flap by using a flathead screwdriver or trim tool to remove the plastic push clip located on the inner edge of the mud flap behind the front tire. Behind the mud flap area, locate and remove two more 10mm bolts hidden under the door trim. Open the driver’s door and locate a 10mm bolt in the door hinge area, then remove it. Pop open the hood and remove the plastic trim cover above the front trunk (frunk) area. Locate a push pin near the windshield washer reservoir under the frunk cover and remove it using a ratchet and socket. Use a ratchet and socket to remove the 10mm bolts securing the front trunk liner, starting with the one near the right edge. Use the ratchet and socket to remove the two 10mm bolts securing the front trunk liner—one near the right edge and the other on the left side near the latch area. Remove the front trunk liner by lifting it upward and out of the frunk to reveal the fasteners and mounting points underneath. Remove the two 10mm bolts along the upper frame rail under the frunk liner where the fender is secured. Locate another two 10mm bolts along the top edge of the fender near the cowl and remove them. Use a plastic tool to carefully pull back the front bumper and pop off the plastic clip that connects the bumper to the fender. Gently pull off the fender from the vehicle, being careful not to damage or yank any wiring attached. On the old fender, remove the two headlight mounting brackets by taking out the 10mm bolts holding them in place. Pry off the small plastic tab attached to the front of the fender using a flathead screwdriver or trim tool; it's held in place by back clips and may require light pressure to release. Use a 10mm socket to remove the bolt securing the bumper support bracket at the front edge of the fender, then gently wiggle and slide the bracket out of place. Remove the black plastic mounting clips from the top of the fender by pressing down on the back locking tab, then sliding the clip outward to release it from the fender. Detach the final lower clip from the fender by pressing down on the locking tab and releasing it. Insert the black plastic mounting clips along the top of the fender by sliding and snapping them into the metal slots. Install the bumper support bracket to the new fender using the 10mm socket and ensure it’s properly aligned. Reinstall the two headlight mounting brackets onto the new fender using the original 10mm bolts. Reattach the small plastic tab to the front of the fender by snapping the back clips into place. Reinstall the lower clip by pressing it into position until it locks. Position the new pre-painted fender from ReveMoto by placing it over the wiring harness and aligning it with the body structure. Secure the fender temporarily by loosely threading in one of the top bolts to hold it in place. Make sure the front edge of the fender fits properly underneath the headlight assembly. Align the prong at the back of the headlight with the corresponding slot in the fender. Reinstall the headlight and secure it using the black side bolt and white upper bolt near the frunk. Reinstall the lower 10mm bolts near the wheel well and bumper to secure the fender base. Check the hood and fender alignment before tightening all bolts completely. Once satisfied with the fitment, go ahead and tighten all the fender mounting bolts securely, including reinstalling the mud flap using its original clips and bolts. Reinstall the bumper by pushing it into place and securing the bolts underneath. Reinstall the 10mm bolt underneath the fender trim piece that was removed in Step 3 to secure the fender in place. Reinstall the side marker light by connecting the plug and snapping the light back into place on the fender. Reinstall the 10mm bolt in the door hinge area that was removed in Step 11 to secure the inner fender edge. Reattach the wheel arch molding by aligning it with the holes and pressing it firmly along the fender until all clips are secured. Reinstall the front trunk liner by lowering it into the frunk and pressing it down evenly until it is fully seated. Secure the trunk liner by reinstalling the two 10mm bolts on each side of the latch area, along with the two bolts at the bottom of the frunk using a ratchet and socket. Reinstall the plastic trim cover above the frunk area and close the hood to complete the installation. The full video is right below and it walks through the entire fender replacement step by step. From popping off trim to lining everything back up, it’s all there. Sometimes it’s easier to follow along when you can actually see it being done, so definitely give it a watch if you're about to tackle this install yourself.   DISCLAIMER: While ReveMoto tries to make the information in this blog as accurate as possible, we make no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or applicability of the content.

How to Replace a 2017–2022 Tesla Model 3 Rear Bumper (Step-by-Step Guide)

by Rolando Balmaceda on Apr 14 2025
Replacing the rear bumper on a Tesla Model 3 might seem intimidating, but with the right tools and clear steps, it's a job you can tackle at home. This guide covers how to remove and install the rear bumper on a 2017 to 2022 Tesla Model 3, whether you're fixing collision damage or upgrading the look. And if you need a color-matched replacement bumper, ReveMoto offers pre-painted options shipped straight to your door. From removal to reassembly, you'll find straightforward instructions and helpful tips throughout the process.🛠️ Tools You'll Need: T20 Torx bit Flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool 8mm and 10mm socket with ratchet wrench Plastic panel clip remover Soft towels or bumper stand Bubble wrap or a blanket (for protection) 🚗 Replace your 2017–2021 Tesla Model 3 rear bumper with a painted one! Shop Painted Rear Bumper for Tesla Model 3 🔧 Rear Bumper Removal & Installation Steps: Remove the underbody cover by prying up the two plastic tabs using a flathead or trim removal tool. Remove two 10mm bolts located on each side of the bottom bumper. Pull back the fender liner from the wheel well. Use a T20 Torx bit to remove the hidden screw. Repeat on both sides. Inside the trunk, remove the plastic tabs on the liner using a flathead or trim tool, then pull the liner back to access the taillight fasteners. Unscrew the plastic retaining nut. You can use a panel clip remover or your fingers to gently release the clip before unscrewing to make this step easier and avoid damaging the surrounding area. Carefully remove the passenger-side taillight by prying with a plastic trim tool from the side and top while applying outward pressure. This side is tighter and may require gentle leverage to release the tabs without cracking the lens. Once loosened, press out from the inside of the trunk and pull evenly from the rear. Carefully remove the driver-side taillight by pulling straight back with even pressure. This side is generally easier to remove, especially near the charging port, as it allows you to apply equal force across the taillight. Remove the bolts located behind the taillights using a 10mm socket and ratchet. These are found just beneath each taillight housing — one on the passenger side and one on the driver side. Unclip the bumper ends on both sides by pulling outward near each wheel well. On the driver’s side near the charging port, use both hands to pull straight back while applying even pressure. This helps release the tabs cleanly without damaging the bumper. Gently pull the bumper out from the center. Make sure to disconnect the sensor wiring harness before removing the bumper completely. Use a flathead screwdriver to push up on the tabs along the bottom edge of the bumper. These tabs secure the lower valance. Work your way across to release the entire piece. Tip: Push up on the tabs rather than pulling out — you should hear a click as each one releases. Remove the parking sensors by pressing in the side tabs. Be sure to save the rubber grommets, as they will be reused. Remove the locking pins along the lower valance to release it from the bumper. Remove the lower valance by sliding it out from the bumper. If needed, use a flathead screwdriver to help release the tabs as you work across. Remove the reflectors by pressing the locking pins on the back and pushing them out. If stuck, gently pry with a flathead tool to release them. Place the new bumper on a soft surface like towels or a bumper stand to prevent scratches. Reinstall the sensors by aligning them with the tab slots and pressing them in until they click. Ensure the grommets are properly seated to prevent moisture intrusion. Snap the reflectors into place by aligning the tabs with the slots and pressing them in until secure. Slide the lower valance into position on the new bumper and press each locking tab down until fully secured. Secure the lower valance further by tightening the bolts or clips into place along the mounting points. A ratchet or socket tool may be needed. Lay down a blanket, bubble wrap, or a soft cloth to protect the bumper from scratches during installation. Carefully align and loosely position the bumper onto the car’s body. Let it rest gently in place without fully locking it in, to prepare for the following steps. Reinstall the bolts underneath the bumper using a 10mm socket. These help hold the bumper in place temporarily while you complete the wiring and fitment. Reconnect the sensor wiring harness behind the bumper. Push the connectors together firmly until you hear a click, ensuring a secure and weather-tight seal. Once the wiring and bolts are secure, lift the bumper fully into place. Start by pressing the center section until it snaps in, then press the sides near the taillights until the bumper sits flush with the body. Insert the 10mm bolts near the wheel wells on both sides to firmly secure the edges of the bumper to the fenders. Reinstall the 10mm bolts on the lower edge of the bumper, directly behind the rear wheel wells. These bolts correspond to the ones removed in Step 2 and secure the bumper to the underside of the vehicle. Reinstall the 8mm bolt on the taillight bracket to secure it in place before inserting the taillight housing. Align the taillight and press it in until the prongs slide into their slots. Apply firm, even pressure until the taillight sits flush with the body. Reconnect the taillight wiring harness by plugging it in until you hear a click. This ensures the electrical connection is secure before finalizing the taillight installation. Secure each taillight using only the plastic retaining nut. Tighten it by hand or with a tool until snug—no need to overtighten. Repeat this process on the opposite side to complete the taillight installation. Reattach the trunk liner tabs and plastic covers. Reinstall the plastic screw-type trim clip above the taillight by pressing it into place and rotating it clockwise until it locks securely. Reinstall the plastic trunk threshold trim by aligning it with the clips and pressing it down firmly until all tabs snap back into place. From underneath the bumper, reinstall the final 10mm bolt to secure the underbody panel. This helps lock the bumper in place from below. Reinstall the underbody access panel by aligning its tabs and pressing it back into place until secure. The bumper’s on, everything’s secure, and it’s looking good. While some steps might feel a bit tricky the first time around, it’s all manageable if you take your time. This guide covered each step, but if you want to see how it all comes together, you can watch the full install in the video below. It's helpful to see where each clip and bolt actually goes, especially if you're doing it for the first time.   DISCLAIMER: While ReveMoto tries to make the information in this blog as accurate as possible, we make no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or applicability of the content.

How To Do a Chevy Camaro SS Bumper Conversion From an LT/LS

by Abby Pobre on Apr 14 2025
Are you ready to transform your 2010-2013 Chevy Camaro LT/LS to look like a 2010-2013 Chevy Camaro SS Model? Here at ReveMoto, we do conversions based on customers' experiences and suggestions. From there, we research how these conversions go. We check it out by actually doing the conversions ourselves, seeing what issues can arise, and how to overcome them. Most of the conversions we have made are on our YouTube Channel, along with our instructional videos, such as videos that explain how to install a new bumper or even how to apply touch-up paint. Painted parts and accessories are available on our website at ReveMoto.com. Back to the Camaro conversion. The most striking difference between the two is that the lip on the Camaro SS bumper goes out a little bit. The bottom grille is also wider. What new parts will you need for this conversion? New painted front bumper Front fascia insert or mail slot Lower grille Fender liners These parts are included in the Camaro Conversion Kit available on ReveMoto.com For the conversion, you'll need these tools: Socket wrench with 10mm and 7mm sockets and T20 torque bits Plastic panel clip removal tool or two flat head screwdrivers Medium extension Drill Rivet gun and rivets a. Remove The Original LT/LS Bumper The first step is to remove the original bumper. Note: keep all the bolts, push pins, and clips as they will be used later on. 1. Start at the bottom of the car There are two 10mm bolts right near the middle that need to be removed.  2. At the top of the bumper, there are six push pins that you can remove using a plastic panel clip removal tool or two flat head screwdrivers. The push pins will need to be wedged up. You need to pry it up and it should come right off.  3. Remove the two secondary 10mm bolts that can be found on top of the bumper on each end.  4. On the fender liner, there are three T20 torque bits screws that need to be taken off. Once those are off, pull the fender liner to the side. 5. Inside, there are 10 mm bolts where the bumper and fender meet. Use a small extension for this to loosen it up. Once it’s loose, the bolts can be removed by hand.  6. Once those are taken off, there are two more bolts that need to be removed: a secondary 10mm bolt and a 7mm bolt. These bolts are just on top of the fender, near the bumper.  7. Do the same thing on the other side. The wheels just need to be rotated to access the fender liner.  8. Now that the clips and bolts are removed on the top and bottom as well as on each side, carefully pull the bumper off. 9. Locate the main harness cable on the right side of the bumper, which connects the fog lights and the turn signals. Remove the clip on the cable, using a flat head screwdriver if needed. b. Remove The Accessories From The LT/LS Bumper It’s time to remove the accessories from the LT/LS that are to be used for this conversion. These are the parts that will are needed from the old bumper: Lower valance/lower mud guard (optional - the one on the original bumper is wider and the one on the SS is shorter in height) Fog lights Turn signal lights Top grille 1. Use a drill to remove the rivets at the top of the bumper. Remove the filler molding on top of the bumper. There should be one on each side. Set them aside. 2. Flip the bumper to see the back of it. Take off the absorber, the one on the middle portion. This can be done by removing the tabs using a flat panel remover or a flat head screwdriver.  3. Take off the wires that connect the signal lights, fog lights, and absorber. Put the absorber aside for later use.  4. Take off the signal lights on each side by using a flat panel remover or flat head screwdriver. Set aside. 5. For the fog lights, take off the cover first by using a flat panel remover or flat head screwdriver, wedge it, and push down. Support the fog light while doing so. Do the same thing when removing the actual fog light. 6. Take off the top grille and check on the tabs that hold it. Use something flat, wedge it, and let the tabs fall off.  7. On the lower valance, take off the 14mm bolts. The lower valance is the rubber piece at the bottom of the bumper.  8. On the sides of the old bumper, there are clips you need to take off to use on the new bumper.   c. Install The Accessories on The SS Bumper 1 .

How To Replace a 2010-2011 Toyota Camry Front Bumper

by Abby Pobre on Apr 14 2025
A front bumper cover is a crucial part of your car's aesthetic look and provides protection from minor accidents. Driving without a bumper cover isn’t just dangerous, but can also be unsightly. We provide bumper cover replacements like the 2010-2011 Toyota Camry Front Bumper painted for your convenience. ReveMoto offers bumper covers that are guaranteed to fit, color-match and have lifetime warranty on the paint job. We also provide guides on how to install your car parts, available on our YouTube Channel and here on the blog. Read on to see how to replace your Toyota Camry Front Bumper once you receive your part from us.  You’ll need: Screwdriver Flat head screwdriver 10 mm socket wrench Razor blade 3M double-sided stick tape Your Toyota Camry bumper replacement starts with popping the hood up and starting from the bottom. It’s always safer to start at the bottom versus on top so you don’t have to worry the bumper might fall off. 1. At the bottom of the bumper, there are approximately eight to 10 10mm bolts that go from one side to the other. These bolts support the engine cover.  2. On each side of the bumper, there are push pins that need to be rotated and removed using a flat head screwdriver. 3. When you open up the fender liner, you’re going to see a 10mm screw. Remove it by using a socket wrench.  4. At the top of the bumper, look for push pins on top of it. Remove them using a flat screwdriver. Push it down in the middle and they’ll come right off. There are approximately 10 of them that run on top of the front bumper. 5. Next, use your Philips screwdriver and take off the two bolts that you can see on each side at the top of the bumper. In the middle, there is one more bolt that needs to be removed.  6. The bumper should be ready to be removed. First, you go on each side and pull it up slowly. Once both sides are pulled up, go to the middle of the bumper and pull it to remove. 7. Put the old bumper upside down to take off the accessories. 8. Take off the grille. There are four screws (one on each side, two in the middle) on top of the grille that need to be taken off.  9. All over the grille area, there are clips. Take your flat head screwdriver and try to get in between, push the clips up. Once all are removed, the grille will come right off.   10. All 2010-2011 Camry front bumper covers come with pre-drilled holes for fog lights. If your car doesn’t have fog lights, it should have fog light covers. To remove the fog light covers, support first the front side while you push the clips of the fog light covers from the back. Do the same thing on the other side. 11. On the side of the bumpers, there are clips that need to be taken off.  12. On the bottom part of the bumper, there are four holes with clips. Unclip it by pinching and pushing it to remove. 13. On the Toyota emblem, support the front part as you remove it by pushing the clips using a flat head screwdriver. 14. On the top of the bumper, there is a rubber weatherstrip or rubber seal that needs to be removed. You can use a razor blade to help you remove it. If the weatherstrip or rubber seal is too brittle, you can just replace it at your local auto parts store. 15. Remove the metal support at the top of the bumper. There will be three pushpins. Press down in the middle to remove them. 16. Put the new bumper upside down and make sure you put something at the bottom to avoid scratches. Install the metal support at the top of the bumper. 17. Next, install the grille and anchor it in a way that it goes straight in the holes. Once it’s set, push it down. Flip the bumper and push the grille so it clips. There will be a sound so you’ll know that it has locked.  18. Once the grille is locked, put in the four screws on top. 19. Put the emblem back on. Just push it until it locks. 20. Next is the lower grille. Follow the same way you did the upper one. 21. Next is the weatherstrip/rubber seal. If you’re using the old one, make sure to take off the residue. You can use a razor blade. If it’s sticky, you can use an alcohol wipes to clean so the new tape will stick better. Place tape across the back of the weatherstrip on the top and bottom. 22. Put the weatherstrip on the bumper and make sure it lines up with the holes. 23. Put the bolts at the bottom of the bumper. 24. Put the clips on each side of the bumper. 25. Install the bumper, top first. Put the screws on top of the bumper.  26. Make sure that your bumper is over the fender brackets. Press down gently the bumper on each side. 27. On each side of the bumper, on the fender liner area, there is a 10mm bolt that needs to be put back. Near that, clip the bumper back. 28. Make sure the bumper is over the engine cover underneath. There are around eight to 10 bolts.   DISCLAIMER: While ReveMoto tries to make the information in this blog as accurate as possible, we make no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or applicability of the content.

How to Convert Your 2013–2016 Scion FR-S to a 2017–2020 Toyota 86 Front Bumper

How to Convert Your 2013–2016 Scion FR-S to a 2017–2020 Toyota 86 Front Bumper

by Production Team on Mar 27 2025
In the early 2000s, Toyota introduced Scion, a sub-brand aimed at younger, budget-conscious buyers. In collaboration with Subaru, Scion released the FR-S in 2012. FR-S stands for Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive, Sport. When Toyota discontinued the Scion brand in 2016, the FR-S was rebranded as the Toyota 86. If you own a 2013–2016 Scion FR-S, you can easily upgrade the front end to match the sleeker 2017–2020 Toyota 86 by using ReveMoto’s pre-painted conversion kit. Here are the tools you need to do the full bumper conversion: Ratchet 10mm socket Phillips screwdriver Flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool Rivet gun Zip ties Razor blade or utility knife Bumper stand or soft surface Pre-painted Conversion Kit from ReveMoto Here's the step by step guide: Open the hood of the vehicle to access the bolts holding the front bumper in place. Use a 10mm socket with a ratchet to remove all bolts running across the top edge of the bumper. Once the bolts are off, remove the upper radiator support cover to gain better access underneath. Begin removing the bumper from one side by gently pulling outward near the headlight area while keeping the headlight corner steady to avoid damaging the bumper tabs. Before pulling the bumper completely off, disconnect the fog light wiring by locating the connector behind the fog light and pressing the release tab—no need to twist or force anything. Carefully remove the bumper and place it somewhere safe, preferably on a soft surface to prevent scratches. Place the new Toyota 86 bumper on a soft padded surface like a work stand, table, or blanket, and then flip the bumper over to prepare for installation from the underside. Install the center grille by aligning the grille tabs with the bumper slots, then press firmly with both hands until you hear a click; if it doesn’t click, the tabs might be misaligned. Install the fog light delete covers (or fog lights if preferred) by lining up the holes and pressing the pieces into place until they snap securely; if installing fog lights, use screws to secure them. Install the tow-hook cover. Remove the Toyota emblem from the old bumper and install it on the new one. Attach the reflector bracket by aligning it with the mounting holes and securing it using either a rivet gun or small screws; a rivet gun is handy but not required for this step. Replace the side bumper brackets if needed, using a 10mm socket or screwdriver depending on whether your vehicle uses bolts or screws; if unsure, compare the old bracket with the new one and swap as needed. Use zip ties to secure the unused fog light wires so they don’t dangle or interfere with the bumper installation. Start the bumper install by aligning one side over the headlight bracket, making sure the bumper sits on top of the mounting point, and immediately insert one of the top bolts to keep the bumper from shifting or falling during the rest of the install. Move to the opposite side and slide the bumper over the second headlight bracket, feeding any wiring through the gaps as needed and ensuring nothing gets pinched. If you notice the bumper doesn’t seat properly, inspect for any small plastic tabs or lips that may be obstructing the fit and carefully trim them using a sharp razor blade rather than forcing the bumper in. Once trimmed and aligned, check underneath the bumper to make sure the undercarriage splash guard sits properly between the bumper and the frame and isn’t caught underneath. Be aware that if your fender has been previously repaired, it could affect bumper alignment; adjust and fit as best as possible and trim areas as necessary to ensure a clean, even fit. Align and press the bumper into place near the headlight and fender, making sure the edges are seated properly and the bumper clips in securely. Install the side marker light or reflector by aligning it with the bracket on the fender and pressing it in until it clicks securely into place; make sure it sits flush with the bumper and is properly locked in. Bolt the side of the bumper to the fender from inside the wheel well using the appropriate screw or bolt; make sure the bumper edge lines up cleanly with the fender before tightening to avoid gaps. Reinstall the top 10mm bolts along the upper edge of the bumper to secure it to the radiator support; tighten them evenly to ensure the bumper sits flush against the body. Do a final check to ensure all bolts, clips, and parts are secure and aligned—then step back and admire your clean Toyota 86 front-end conversion.

How to Replace a 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon Side View Mirror

by Louella Hernandez on Mar 26 2025
Are you replacing your Toyota Avalon side view mirror? Here's a quick and easy walk-through for replacing your side view mirror on a 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon. In this replacement, there's no need to remove the door panel or deal with complicated wirings. But before we dive in, here’s a cool piece of trivia: according to MotorWeek, the 2005-2010 Avalon was the first Toyota designed entirely in the U.S. From engineering to assembly, it was built with American roads and drivers in mind.  Now let’s get that mirror installed and your Avalon looking sharp again. Tools Needed: 10mm socket wrench Socket extension (recommended) Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. Open the front door to access the mirror and interior trim area fully. 2. Carefully pop off the triangular plastic trim piece/interior mirror cover at the door panel's upper corner. 3. Behind the cover, locate the mirror’s electrical connector. 4. Using a socket wrench, completely remove the three 10mm nuts securing the mirror. Hold the mirror with one hand to prevent it from falling. 5. Disconnect the mirror plug, press the release tab on the connector and gently unplug it from the harness. 6. With the nuts and plug removed, carefully pull the old mirror straight off the door. 7. Check the new mirror for weather stripping and remove it from the old mirror if needed. Most mirrors come with the weather stripping pre-installed. If yours doesn’t, gently peel off the rubber seal from the old mirror so you can reuse it. 8. Install the weather stripping on the new mirror. Press the seal firmly onto the new mirror frame so it fits flush and snug. 9. Align the new mirror with the door. Line up the mounting bolts and guide pin with the holes on the door and hold the mirror in place. 10. Reconnect the mirror wiring plug. Plug the connector back into the harness until it clicks securely. 11. Hand-tighten the three 10mm mirror nuts. Thread the nuts onto the bolts by hand to avoid stripping the threads. 12. Use the socket wrench to tighten the nuts. Evenly tighten all three nuts. Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the studs. 13. Check that the mirror sits flush. Make sure the mirror is aligned properly with no gaps or obstructions. 14. Reinstall the interior mirror cover. Snap the triangular trim piece back into place on the inside of the door. 15. Test the mirror functionality. Turn on the car and use the mirror adjustment controls to verify that everything works correctly. 16. You’re all done! The new mirror is installed and fully functional—clean install, no fuss. Here's the complete video installation guide on the side view mirror installation of a 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon.    DISCLAIMER: While ReveMoto tries to make the information in this blog as accurate as possible, we make no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or applicability of the content.

How to Remove a 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla Fender

by Rolando Balmaceda on Mar 06 2025
Replacing the passenger-side fender on your 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla may look difficult, but it’s easier than it seems! Even if you’ve never worked on a car before, this guide will walk you through the step-by-step removal and installation process. If you can open a jar of pickles, you’ve got the strength to do this job! The Toyota Corolla, the reliable sibling of the legendary Toyota Camry, is known for its longevity. To keep it looking as great as it runs, maintaining its body panels is essential. Whether your fender is damaged or you're just upgrading, this guide will help you remove and replace the fender with ease. Tools Needed To successfully remove your Corolla’s fender, you’ll need: 10mm socket wrench with an extension Flathead screwdriver Panel clip removal tool (or an additional flathead screwdriver) Yellow painter’s tape (optional, for protecting adjacent panels) TOYOTA COROLLA FENDERS Shop 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla Painted Fender Browse Toyota Corolla Painted Fenders Most people don’t have a panel clip removal tool, but a flathead screwdriver works just fine. The painter’s tape is optional, but it helps prevent scratches when removing and installing the fender. Step-by-Step Guide to Removing the Fender Start by applying painter’s tape to the A-pillar, hood, bumper, and door to protect adjacent panels from scratches. Turn the front passenger-side wheel to the left to create more space for accessing the fender liner pins and screws. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the plastic push pin underneath the fender near the rocker panel, followed by four additional plastic push pins around the fender liner. Locate the small push pin where the fender and bumper meet and remove it with a flathead screwdriver. Remove the larger push pin by twisting it counterclockwise before pulling it out. Use a 10mm socket wrench to remove the two bolts securing the fender liner and splash shield underneath the fender/front bumper. Open the hood and remove the three 10mm bolts securing the top of the fender. Remove the bolt securing the headlight to the fender and then pop the headlight off the fender. Pull the corner of the bumper outward until it snaps off from the fender. Slightly push the bumper away to access and remove the hidden bolt below the bracket using a 10mm socket wrench. Locate and remove the three bolts securing the fender bracket with a 10mm socket wrench. Remove the cover between the fender and door by pushing it upward with force. Use a socket wrench to remove two bolts: one located under the removed cover and another just below it inside the door opening. Remove two additional bolts underneath the fender where it meets the door. Pull out the plastic piece behind the fender. Use a 10mm socket wrench to remove the bolt hidden behind the plastic piece. Additional Step: Hidden Bolt Behind the Fender Liner Your fender still isn't moving because there is a bolt hidden behind the fender liner. Behind the fender liner, there is a hard plastic cover. Honestly, we’re not too sure what this cover does—maybe it’s for noise cancellation or perhaps Toyota engineers wanted to make our lives just a little bit harder. Most likely, it’s designed to prevent debris from getting behind your fender. How to remove it: There is a small circular cap/pin that you need to remove to loosen the cover. Don’t worry about damaging the cover—it’s just plastic, so pull it out forcefully. Behind that cover, you’ll find one lonesome 10mm bolt. Remove that bolt, and you should be home free! Pull back the fender liner to expose the hard plastic cover and remove the small circular cap/pin securing it. Forcefully pull out the plastic cover to reveal a hidden 10mm bolt, then remove the bolt. Pull out the plastic trim cover near the windshield cowl, remove the rubber piece to expose a hidden bolt, and use a socket wrench with an extension to remove it. Finally, pull the fender toward the headlight and away from the vehicle to remove it completely. Installing the Fender Installing your fender is much easier now that you have removed the old one. Essentially, you just need to work in reverse order. 🔧 Need Help Installing? 🔧 Here’s the step-by-step guide to installing your 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla Fender like a pro! Be sure to fit the fender snugly. Our replacement parts are designed to fit as well as your original equipment fender. However, some accidents may cause unseen damage behind the panel, so inspect the brackets and frame to ensure they are not bent. Any misalignment can affect the fitment of your new fender. You should also check the spacing between the fender and the hood. If the gap is too close or too wide, compare it to the other side for reference. Run your finger along the panel gaps—if it feels uneven or gets pinched, there is a spacing issue. To fix this, simply loosen the bolts, adjust the fender, and tighten it back in place. If you encounter any issues, have questions, or need further assistance, don’t hesitate to chat online with our staff. We knew you could tackle this job on your own!
