Thank you for watching our video. We love to make detailed videos on replacement parts because we could never find detailed videos for our cars when we needed them. Working on this #mitsubishi #lancer was very easy and simple. We hope you get the confidence to take on this #diy project after watching our video.

TOOLS NEEDED:
You will need a panel clip removal tool or a flat-head screwdriver. A Philips screwdriver and a socket wrench with a 10mm socket.

PROCESS:
You have to get the first bumper off, so follow the link above to complete that. If you don't have a bumper or you're ready to do the install, you're in the right place. We have to replace all the small components on the rear bumper. Luckily, that is not much at all on this 2009-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer. We have two reflectors that are held on by a Philips screw. There are two license plate u-nuts for the bolts. We have to swap over the license plate light brackets as well. They're all a very simple process and only involve a screwdriver. Be sure to only hand tighten the screws into the bumper. Using an impact gun on plastic may damage the plastic threading. Impact guns can be too powerful if not used correctly. 

Next up is mounting the bumper onto the vehicle. Every bumper will clip onto the bumper brackets or retainers on the sides. They also usually clip under the trunk or tail lights. Start by mounting the bumper in the center and moving your way to the far ends. Firmly clip the bumper underneath the taillights and work your way to the far ends. It's also best practice to secure the top of the bumper with bolts or screws. You can just insert them and hand tighten the skews so the bumper will hold while you push it in on the ends. This way, the bumper won't move or fall on you while your working on the ends. There are times where the bumper needs a bit of force to get into place, use a hammer fist to achieve this but make sure that the brackets aren't broken and that the bumper tabs insert perfectly into the brackets. You don't want to break the bumper tabs, they are the thinnest part of the bumper. Once the bumper is mounted, you can work on attaching the fender liner and attach it to the rear bumper cover. Make sure that the fender liner sits in front of the bumper. Lastly, insert all the clips and screws onto the bottom of the bumper.  Our particular customer did not inform us that clips were missing, so we replaced those after we filmed this video. We got them at the Mitsubishi dealership for a few dollars. 

Your job is now done and you hopefully have your newly painted rear bumper from ReveMoto on your Lancer. If not, it's okay! We hope you learned something new and saved some money in the process.
