Just replaced the bumper cover on my son's 2003 Mustang. Also replaced the headlight assemblies. Saved me about a grand and it was fun hanging out with my son. Many thanks for an excellent video!

We’re you able to do it in a day?

outstanding video. I am going to need to pull my front bumper off to do some upgrades/mods/repairs and it was nice to have a look at it apart before tackling it blindly in the drive way!

Thanks for the video. My stepdaughter centered up a street sign and killed the front of her 99 Mustang. So I had to replace the AC condenser, the radiator, headlights, headlight panel, impact foam and the front bumper cover. Back in the day it would have been totaled but videos like this one definitely gave me the confidence to try the repair on my own. My replacement cover didnt come with the metal brackets attached, so I had to do the pop-rivets on it, but other than that it was exactly what you had to do.

thanks!! this really helps! found a bumper online to replace mine so this step by step made it loads easier!

Thinking about getting a Mustang GT like this, but I'm not sure if I should get an automatic or manual?

Also the 3 tabs on the inside of the bumper that those 2 metal brackets get riveted to are really flimsy, they all have a crease in them like they are designed to tear off the bumper, but I'm not happy with how weak they look. They look like if I were to bend them one way and back the other they would just snap off, were yours solid or did they have a crease in them too?

Good video! 👍

I'm having an issue with my bumper. I'm also replacing my 2000 Mustang bumper, and I needed some insight on how to put it together.

what size self tapping screw do you use to secure the impact absorber on the bottom?

@lastmoto777

9 жыл бұрын

I think the hole is for a 3/16 rivot so just get yourself a self tapping screw large enough to thread into that hole. I used a 1.25 " screw with a fender washer on it. There is plenty of room inside the bumper for the screw to tighten. Be Careful with the tightening you dont feel much resistance from the styrofoam. Good luck with that.

I used self tapping screws and a fender washer. When you put it on just bring it to the styrofoam do not tighten once the washer gets up against the foam impact absorber. the bumper cover will hold it in place anyway. Best of luck with it.

I have an expensive gun bought from a paint shop many years ago. You can really buy one from lowes, Northern tool, Harbor Freight very inexpensively ($ 20- $30) if you don't paint alot. They will do a respectable job for you. The quality of the paint job depends alot on the painter as much as the gun you use. lots of videos out there to help. Best of luck with it !
