Cn I install projectors w/o removing bumper?

[prestige97SE]

I had a frontal collision in my accord. I rear ended a truck. My hood, headlights, and few other minor items were smashed. The company fixing my car left a space (1 inch )between my bumper and projectors. I think they installed my lights without removing the bumper. Is this normal?

no it isn't, You can't install headlight assemblies without removing the bumper.There's a harness below the headlight in which the headlight screws onto which is the reason why it has to be removed. I just had somebody install my headlights for me, for $85 bucks.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAA!!!!!
You paid $85 for some douchbag to undo 16 little screws/bolts and put it back together?!?! hahahahaha!! That's so sad it's funny...

Dropping a bumper is easy man, it's just nuts and bolts. Really all I can say is go at it and pay attention to how you remove it, instalation is reverse of removalk. It sounds dumb, but with pateince, you'll figure it out. That's how I learned, I just got sick of the grill not being painted black, so I dropped and painted the grill...and put it back on...took a little while the first time, but I learn, it's all creatativity and trial and error with fit and first, but you'll figure it out.

What can I say, I'm a lazy fuck.But next time I'll do it myself. I'm in NY and it was too cold when I got it done for me to do it myself.

What can I say, dropping a bumper outside in the middle of a New York Winter isn't my idea of fun...That's when you wait for spring
...No garage I take it?

exactly fam, I live in an apartment building. If I had garage then I would learn how to do most of the work on my car. But now I'd just rather pay people to do what I need done. U should hear what other places wanted to charge me to drop the bumper. the most was $150

You got biznanged by a punk shop my friend. If you just picked this up recently..take it back to them because that is unexceptable !! i have a shop and I would never let a car go like that. More than likely your braces are bent. Rather take it back to them or drop your front bumper down and adjust accordingly...once you get in there youll figure out what to bend or adjust accordingly.

$150 to drop a bumper??? In no way is that worth it at all, that's overpriced...it's pretty easy stuff to do.
