2015-2021 Subaru WRX/STI Front Bumper Removal and Install (detailed) | SP3C BUiLT

Many modifications require removal of the front bumper. We wanted to make a fully detailed video showing each part of the front bumper removal process. This process is the same for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and STI Models.

Thorough AND concise. The rest of UA-cam could learn from your format.

[@robvanhalen9696]

Thanks so much for doing this step by step. It made the job so much easier for me.

[@omarpatino5936]

Great little video. I suggest taping up the side edges of the bumper so they dont scratch the fender when separated. Tends to want to ride up. Also my 15 has an additional lower and different clip on the bottom of the side of the bumper holding my oem lip kit

[@BoomboxMike1]

This is one of the best tutorial videos and step-by-step installation all uninstall. Thank you so much I really really appreciate it.😎👍

[@kelyndrudolph6437]

must be nice doing this with brand new bumper clips lmao

[@vsucountryboy]

I was thinking the exact same thing! All mine were froze up. Only 10k miles top, but it's a 2020.

[@pipes3]

lol, I just removed the bumper on my 2020 STI and none of the clips came off with ease like in this video. There were so many small rocks and dirt particles that get trapped in the clips making it very difficult to pry off - and this is with the use of a clip removal tool. The problem is the dirt doesn't allow the pin in the middle to come out fully. What a fucking headache. The clips on the car in the video are obviously brand spankin' new.

An incredible video and immensely useful. I wish all Auto videos were of this quality. Bravo.

[@matthewwicinski4073]

Just bumping a great, straight forward and useful piece of information. Nicely done. AND YES I KNOW THIS IS 3 years old

[@tonyliu9982]

Really appreciated this video, DJ. So detailed and well explained. Too often how-to videos aren’t detailed enough. Usually, it is only the removal part, without explaining how to re-install the parts. Will continue to support your channel and Subiebros.

[@sp3cbuilt]

Thanks Tony! Since the front bumper removal is such a common task for many modifications, I thought this would be better to reference this detailed video going forward rather than explaining how to remove the front bumper for every video that requires it.

[@mendez_guzman9661]

Facts!!

[@paulhenry5497]

Cheer's m8, the video was very helpful, always owned v8s, never a subi or a smaller car. Keep up the good work.

[@juanmadrigal3914]

Thank you for this video. It was so easy to do.

[@ericiidx]

Thanks for the detailed video! I've taken off a few bumpers in my time, but this was a finicky one! I had to reference the video a couple of times in the process.

[@nikki6110]

how the hell do you get it back on

[@rafaelgalindo8668]

Great instructions and very helpful. Thanks

[@nev3rfalt3r63]

Very informative and professional video. Thank you!

[@vlaudanum1158]

Good DIY video my brother. I dig it

[@TempestaWeb]

This is a really good video.. I am not worrying about doing this now.

[@sopadesopita]

love this video!! thanks !!

[@vincewu1975]

Thanks for making this great video, I'm an idiot when it comes to following instructions, now I feel like I'm 100% smarter. Gonna refer to this video a lot tonight when I install my Hella horns.

[@leaholiver2066]

Great video, thanks!

[@crusoebower3391]

This was professionally done and I'm confident after watching the way you done it

[@jorgenlannock]

Bedt tutorial for this bumper i have seen! 👍👍

[@matd8958]

Nice work 👏

[@matthewpeter5154]

Think about a new grill for my sti but this looks like a nightmare just to do that. Just gonna have it professionally done

[@jakobh6257]

Great video, thank you 🙏

[@TYLER503DURDEN]

Thank you for doing these videos, they are extremely helpful

[@mr.jr.1035]

Great Video !

[@GR8GUY54]

Thank you! I'm going to put in a fog light kit and needed to see this first. Can anyone confirm if the nine clips on the bottom are the same type for 2021 STI Base? The part that seems the most intimidating is once you have to start detaching and it 'pops' like if you broke something. It now seems possible wi
th one person to do. Thanks!

[@katemate5609]

Thanks man, you didn’t mention the light sprayers and both of mine snapped off

[@cameronsmith7914]

Thank you

[@pedafromdagutter1782]

thanks

[@jamesgonzalodo6365]

Thanks

[@eduardonunez9245]

No I need to this for head light cover replacement

[@SpecializedP2Ler]

So anyone know the name/size of the first clip he shows? Ofcourse both of mine broke😅

[@dirtywrx8478]

Took my bumper off so many times for mods. The worst part is reinstalling the bumper. It never wants to aline with the headlights.

[@thedon9670]

I have that problem right now....

[@dirtywrx8478]

@@thedon9670 your gonna need another person. It's a pain.

[@shubakabaka616]

Thank you buddy, saved me a lot

[@Blank.Stare17]

For some reason i have a bigger gap between the bumper and my headlights, everything was done correctly tho and is in place

[@sp3cbuilt]

There are tabs that have to go in between the headlight and the black bracket under them, you may want to check you aligned these correctly. It is possible to force them into an incorrect position.

[@jamescedillo4356]

Does the 2018 bumper tow hook location match up to the 2015 towhook location

[@sp3cbuilt]

Yes, they are the same but the distance from the front of the bumper cover is different due to the designs.

[@jaymzmeh4595]

This work with a regular 2016 Impreza hatchback? My kid hit a snow bank and guess who has to fix it 😕

[@fuckmelvin6089]

This video couldn’t be quieter.

[@sergiogutierrez9474]

I hit a cyclist and cracked my bumper that’s why I’m here
