The very first thing we need to accomplish in our guide is to remove the front 2 wheels.
-
We do this just to have easier access inside the wheel where we will be removing some items.

-
After removing the side markers, a hidden plastic clip that needs to be removed will appear just above where the bulb was.
-
This clip secures the top part of the outside bumper to the bottom of the foremost fender section.
-
After you remove this clip the sides of the front bumper should easily come off.
-
-
-
After the top fasteners have been removed, the front bumper can now be pulled firmly from the vehicle.
-
Before completely removing the front bumper however, disconnect the two plugs under the headlights to the fog lights and to the turn signals, on both sides.
-
After performing this last step, you will have succeeded in removing the front bumper on a Subaru BRZ.

-
Disconnect the battery. (picture shown is the DIF Super lightweight Battery Tray)
-
Disconnecting the batter insures that you do not get electrocuted while working on your car.

-
Using a 12mm socket, remove the four bolts securing the top of the radiator support to the vehicle.
-
With a preferred racheting 12mm wrench, remove the two bolts securing the radiator support center brace to the lower radiator core support.
-
Hint: The two bolts are located near the header.

After the removal of the bumper and intake, you are now ready to tackle any installation behind the bumper.
