My camry's front bumper was hit and I need to get a new one plus a grill. How do I go about removing the old bumper/grill?
Oh and, my drivers side headlight is loose, is there a way just to tighten it?

If you just wanna remove the grill.
pop up your hood,

you should see three screws or nuts sitting on top of your grill, unscrew or losen them, and then you gotta craw under, you should see two more screws or nuts under the bumper. unscrew those. Your grill could be remove.

if you want to remove

you gotta do one more step, you have to remove the bolt on each side where the bumper attaches to the fender. I think you have to remove the fender liner too.
but just play around with it, should be fine.

good luck

depending on your gen of cam, most likely if you buy a new front bumper, it won't come with a grill....you'll just get the bumper cover...

and also check to see if you bent your rebar or anything like that either, cuz if you do, it *should* be replaced as well...

and if you buy a bumper cover, don't go cheap and buy an aftermarket one....go for an oem one....aftermarket ones are a hassle to deal w/ cuz their molds are always off....

It's a 2000. I was just thinking about going to the junk yard and trying to get a nice one there. Trying not to spend too much money on it before I trade it in

And what about the headlights? How do I go about fixing them? Their in perfect shape, just loose.

I got some of this mesh to put in place of the broken grill for now. What should I used to hold the mesh into place ?

you should be able to just screw the lights back in to keep htem from jiggling, unless you broke the brackets that hold it, and you can also use zip ties for the temp grill probably
