I watched this video a few times and followed step by step and installed my new Anderson Composites upper grille on my black 2017 Mustang Gt. I wished I had an angle drill for the bottom and 7mm screws in the fender but I used a ratchet. Best video ever. I got quoted six hours today, then went home and did it myself in four myself. Thanks for up loading this. Ever other video they used jack stands and took the wheels off. I liked that you just cut the wheels to the right and then left.
Great tutorial! You saved a lot of us a lot of money, let alone painstaking frustration figuring out where the hidden bolts were! Kudos, my mustang brotha'!
This video is great. Thanks so much for making it. Made the job so much easier knowing exactly what to do. I took my time and got it done in about an hour and a half or so.
I have done this many times on my 2016 GT but traded in car 8 months ago and just bought an 2018 GT watching this reminded me what to look for again. Great video. Thank you
Upgrading my grill this weekend. This is by far the best tutorial on how to remove the front bumper. Thanks bud. i def would have broken those clips on the sides. LOL
Good demo, thanks! My GT grille now fitted to my EB trouble free! Only difference was that I didn't have an adaptor for my 7mm mini drive socket to connect to ratchet! (to get to the wheel arch bolts) Luckily I managed to get to it from above via engine bay using a long worm driver, which had the correct mini square drive for the socket. There's some other good demos on here and after watching them all, I could now remove the front bumper blind fold! This is where TH-cam is great!
Thank you for the video, I had an RPI Designs black mesh grille for a while now and after watching your video I realized it wasn't that bad of a job to tackle by myself. I did it in the driveway today, now the grille looks killer along with the GT delete rear tail light panel.
This was very helpful. I'm not installing a new grill, but am simply replacing a headlight. Yes, you have to remove the freaking bumper to replace the headlights. Screw engineers. They suck.
Thanks for the detailed video. I was wondering if you could help or direct me on how to remove the passenger side bottom sill molding? My new GT 350 is mis aligned and needs to be slid towards the back by about 2 to 3 mm. Any suggestions would be great, thanks, Chris
Thanks for the video man! I wish you uploaded this before I tried it myself I broke the right side tab and I gave up but I didn't remove that screw any advice on fixing the tab?
Ok so that made thing alot easier but I need some help figuring out what the bar is in the front an where can I find a bottom grill for a v6 3.7L an a bumber cover along with that plastis that goes inside the cover
Finally, a detailed video. One question though, I have a base model GT and I've seen that the process of removing the bumper is one step longer. Is this true?
+neckbonz I did removed a V-6 bumper to install another grille a few months ago and from what I can remember it was the same process. Just remember if you have to use a lot of effort to remove the bumper then make sure all screws and clips have been removed.
Great video! You can still use this tactic for the 2016 Ecoboost right? I got a new car and my front bumper got hit on my second night driving it. Do you have a video about removing the fog lights? My right side kinda got a little messed up so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Keep up the fantastic work!
great vid on the locations of tabs and the screws/bolts . And double thx for including the socket sizes needed. Not to be annoying but the front "bumper" is called a fascia (since its basically the entire nose portion).
Awesome video. Thanks for posting. Quick question: I just received both the upper and lower RTR grill today, and unfortunately, parts of the lower grill were broken. The parts that were broken were some of the "tabs" found sticking up vertically over the "clips" at the top of the lower bumper (the ones with a hole punched in the center as seen at 8:59 in your vid). I thought that these would be important for the instal (I thought that a screw would be involved), but it seems like they are unused and aren't present on the OEM lower grill (again judging from your video, haven't checked on mine yet). So my question is: do you think these "tabs" are important? (as in should I send it back asking for a new one with the undamaged tabs) Or do you think they are useless and I can go ahead and do the instal? I really want to do the instal tmrw, but I also don't want the broken tabs to come back and bite me in the a** later on if it turns out that there were somehow important. In any case, thanks again for the great step-by-step vid. I will definitely be using it when I finally do install my grill.
Hi arctic knight, after removing the 7mm bolt around the wheel well, i was having a hard time trying to pop out the bumper from the side. is this normal? im scared to break my bumper. thanks!!
Marcos Ibarra on ebay there is a dude who sells bumper covers from roush like they r stock take offs before roush puts there's on, cost me $285 shipped paint matched 100% and fitment was right on little pain in the ass switching everything over but not that bad.....I tried gluing the tabs on but after a week the bumper saged so just went the eBay route
Yo please can u let me know what kind of tool is that u used to remove the 7mm bolt at right angle which connects the fender with bumper on either ends .... I m struggling to remove that bolt due to limited access for wrench
+S550_ Arctic_Knight I have purchased the above right angle tool and drill but what is the attachment required on the right angle tool to which removes the bolt. Apologize for bothering you, this being my first time in removing the bumper cover
That bolt under the wheel fender is such a stupid design, what about the people do t have those kinds of tools this guy used, i had such a freakin hard time removing it and cut up my hands all over for it
Geez.. lots of work.. Anyway you can install the front grille without all the removal? I bought a RTR Grille and when my mustang arrives I plan to install it..
+DZenitram23 I'm not sure both parties would get a fair deal, especially including shipping. You can order a brand new gt grille from here for pretty cheap. www.amazon.com/Ford-Mustang-Radiator-Grille-FR3Z-8200-BA/dp/B0118FTD76

@Malik Brett definitely, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
Has to be the most detailed s550 front bumper removal video I've seen!
I used your video to put a new grill on my S550 this morning and it helped a butt ton. Thanks guys!
Good job this was by far the best video for removing the bumper and installing RTR grill better than American Muscle Thank!!
There are a few other videos that come up in the search for this. Yours is the most up close and detailed
That was my plan when making it. Thank you!

6 hours!!! lmao that's ridiculous. I can do the grille swap in about 30 minutes on the ground. I'm glad the video helped!
Great tutorial! You saved a lot of us a lot of money, let alone painstaking frustration figuring out where the hidden bolts were! Kudos, my mustang brotha'!
My RTR grille will be here in a few days, i'm definitely using this video for the install! Thanks!
+Adam Bragdon Awesome!
This video is great. Thanks so much for making it. Made the job so much easier knowing exactly what to do. I took my time and got it done in about an hour and a half or so.
Wanted to thank you for posting this video. I was able to perform the entire install in less than 2 hours with your help. Thanks!
No problem!
This video was a great help when I was swapping my v6 grille with a gt grille. Thanks so much for going so in depth on everything.
Best vid yet on how to remove the bumper! Great job and thank you!!
+toecutter33 Thank you!
I have done this many times on my 2016 GT but traded in car 8 months ago and just bought an 2018 GT watching this reminded me what to look for again. Great video. Thank you
You're welcome. The 18 bumper removal is much better!
Great detailed video, made it easy for me. Thanks
I used silicon spray and a heat gun on the oem grille tabs to help with removal.
Upgrading my grill this weekend. This is by far the best tutorial on how to remove the front bumper. Thanks bud. i def would have broken those clips on the sides. LOL
Incredibly detailed. Thanks for putting this together!
Best job installing a grill on s550 so far thanks 🙏🏿
The best grill changing video out there. Just did my 19 gt. Thank you!
Thank you!!!! Pretty much followed this to a T and was successful
Great tutorial! I'm sure as my mods begin on my 17 GT, this will come in handy.
Nice job, Man! I was going to have it done for me but your video is very detailed so I'm going to do it myself.
+Joseph Hollett Thank you! I'm glad it helps and will save you some money.

+LICobra Awesome! I'm glad it helped you.
+S550_ Arctic_Knight Thanks it did, when are you doing a rear bumper video, down the road I need to swap that too...LOL
+LICobra I can if needed lol. I'll add that to my list.
This was very helpful. I'm not installing a new grill, but am simply replacing a headlight. Yes, you have to remove the freaking bumper to replace the headlights. Screw engineers. They suck.
Doing mine tomorrow afternoon can’t wait to transform my beast haha

Great video, super informative , double thumbs up !!
Great video. Clear instructions
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing and please do more.
Awesome vid thanks!!!
Great video. Perfect explanation.
Ok so that made thing alot easier but I need some help figuring out what the bar is in the front an where can I find a bottom grill for a v6 3.7L an a bumber cover along with that plastis that goes inside the cover
What is that vent thing in the fender called? I need one but can't find what it is.
Finally, a detailed video. One question though, I have a base model GT and I've seen that the process of removing the bumper is one step longer. Is this true?

bumper removal is the same. Once you get the bumper off the fog lights are fairly easy to change.
Thanks for a video, helped a lot
Where did u buy the dewalt attachment
Great tutorial. I see you using the electronic wrench. Would the manual wrench works as well?
yes a ratcheting wrench will work, it's just more of a pain.
Really good video
best detailed front cover removal video on YT. Are you using just a regular drill with a simple adapter as a ratcheting tool?
yes
awesome video!
thanks for the vid! One question, can we install the RTR lights without jacking the car up as well?
I would image so. I haven't installed the lights. just remove the bumper like you did for the grille install
Awesome bro.
Awesome good job
Sehr Gut! Danke schön!
good step by step video, is the base model different since we dont have the belly pan design like the track packs
It's actually a little easier because there aren't as many bolts underneath.
awesome have a grill just waiting ot install this weekend
great vid on the locations of tabs and the screws/bolts . And double thx for including the socket sizes needed. Not to be annoying but the front "bumper" is called a fascia (since its basically the entire nose portion).

Does any one know what he used on the drill to make it go in there like that ?
Hi arctic knight, after removing the 7mm bolt around the wheel well, i was having a hard time trying to pop out the bumper from the side. is this normal? im scared to break my bumper. thanks!!
yes there are clips that help to hold the bumper as well.
Also in what light does the RTR LED Light plug go into??
Im not sure
+S550 Arctic Knight Nice Video bro! What the yellow extension dewalt called?
Does this work on 2017 Mustang Gt as well ?
yes
Damn it there is that hidden bolt just ripped my damn tabs off my passenger side fuck balls
Did you not watch the video through first?
S550_ Arctic_Knight I didn't watch the video or read instructions, I was going off how I take my focus st bumper off fucking Ford hiding shit on me
Marcos Ibarra on ebay there is a dude who sells bumper covers from roush like they r stock take offs before roush puts there's on, cost me $285 shipped paint matched 100% and fitment was right on little pain in the ass switching everything over but not that bad.....I tried gluing the tabs on but after a week the bumper saged so just went the eBay route
Marcos Ibarra Mircoautopartsinc was the user name on ebay where I bought it from
god damnit....$295? Mine is broke on the driver side and I dont want to pay $600 for a new bumper
Yo please can u let me know what kind of tool is that u used to remove the 7mm bolt at right angle which connects the fender with bumper on either ends .... I m struggling to remove that bolt due to limited access for wrench

P51-Stang6 It's just a drill attachment for a socket www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-1-4-in-x-3-8-in-Steel-Square-Socket-Adapter-48-32-5031/202562858
Or just buy flex head wrench and just have 7mm socket handy. Thats what i used when I did mine
great vid say were did you buy the grilles at thanks
americanmuscle.com
thank you
does that chin spoiler come with the car ?? or is that separate you installed
It's the performance pack chin spoiler.
Thank you
Hey Artic Knight. What's is the cordless powered handheld you're using?
just a dewalt drill
is there a way to have the pony on the rtr grill still?
I'm sure it could be easily fabricated to work.
I just put a tribar emblem on mine. I just took two pieces of heavy plastic and made a bracket out of them.
I think you’ll save time if you just remove the splash guard instead of of removing all screws by the splitter. I think?
👍
you getting the new rtr lights?
The owner did get them. I like them much more than I thought I would.
S550_ Arctic_Knight oh cool. yeah they are pretty sweet
do you need to remove front bumper to replace the headlights?
STMARYS KENNARDS yes.
STMARYS KENNARDS headlight housing yes. Bulbs no. Changed mine to 6k then to 5k from the factory 4,300k without removing the valance.
What if i have splitter rods that connect the bumper to the belly pan?? :///
Should i just take off everything w the belly pan?
Bro did you notice that your engine temperature get lower after installing this grill and batter throttle respond.
This wasn't my car but it really shouldn't make a difference.
What is that tool for ur drill?

I wish there was someone in the North East who could help me do one of these grill deletes...shops ask for way too much....
That bolt under the wheel fender is such a stupid design, what about the people do t have those kinds of tools this guy used, i had such a freakin hard time removing it and cut up my hands all over for it
Agreed. I did as well.
Geez.. lots of work.. Anyway you can install the front grille without all the removal? I bought a RTR Grille and when my mustang arrives I plan to install it..
Bumper has to be removed.
I have the ecoboost but ur stock grill is better I will buy it from u how much?
This is a buddies car. I do have the gt grilles that have the delete and then mesh installed. Where are you located?

What about water going into the intake ?
Yeah it's all fun and games till those tabs breaks off around your tires to hold your bumper on. Lol
Good video. I am going to be shopping for a RTR grill to get shipping over here to the UK now. I do think my stock GT grill looks a little gay.
I do like the look of this version though. Are the white bits just an extra bit of kit you can buy and fasten on?

Yes they are. They're actually LED lights but very few people have been able to get ahold of them.
You don't have to lift the car?
nope
Thank you! Your tutorial was the best online! very detailed and helped me do everything perfectly!
gweets233 Awesome! I'm glad it helped!
Man, fuck those 7mm fender screws lmao
My passenger side orange light switch is literally fucking stuck🤦♂️
did you try unplugging the harness instead of twisting?
WS6 Arctic Knight i managed to get it out after like an hour, it was just stuck there, thanks for the response tho
Gloves for safety but screw having shoes on lol
*Has clip removal tool*
*uses screw driver*
Screwdriver is to pick it up a little
dude the point of getting a mustang is for the running horse logo!! Why the heck would you remove it????? people are weird.
1 minute intro?
Thank you
No problem!
