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.
