Before You Begin
We suggest checking with the dealer to see if your car may be a candidate for the Mazda recall on one or more of the engine mounts, or invest in some stiffer after market engine mounts before starting on the installation of the COBB FMIC. Excessive engine movement may cause a properly fitting kit to rub
Front Bumper Removal
Start off by removing the two Phillips head fasteners on top of the front bumper cover. Then remove the six plastic rivet fasteners from the front bumper using a flathead screwdriver or specialty tool.
Now move to the front left wheel and remove the three plastic Phillips head fasteners and one 8mm screw that attaches the fender liner to the front bumper. Repeat this step for the passenger side.
Now move underneath the car and completely remove the front undertray by removing three plastic fasteners, nine 8mm screws and nine 10mm bolts.
With the front undertray removed, you will need to disconnect the fog light connectors on both sides of the car, as well as several plastic retaining clips that hold the wire harness in place.
The bumper is now ready to be removed. Start by pulling the corners of the bumper away from the quarter panel on each side of the car. Pull on the sides gently until it comes free. Once both sides are free, the bumper should lift away from the car. Be careful to not let it hit your quarter panels on the way out and make sure to rest the bumper in a safe place where it won't get bumped or scratched.
