How to Replace a 1995 Honda Accord Bumper
Your Honda Accords bumpers are the first parts of defending the cars ends during a possible rear-end or head on collision. Should the unfortunate occur, you may find that replacing the bumper to your 1995 Accord is not such a difficult task. If you are able to find a matching replacement for the bumper, you may be able to perform this repair procedure from home. Luckily, there are no special tools required for the job.
Instructions

2Remove the radiator grille by unscrewing the five screws at the top with a Phillips screwdriver. Push down on the retaining tabs, with a flathead screwdriver, located between the grill and each headlight. Remove the grille.
3Unscrew the plastic retaining screws with a Phillips screwdriver, and unbolt the bumper bolts using your socket wrench, from under the bumper.
