If you’re looking to upgrade your front end without sacrificing function or install time, Zach Attack Customs offers a clean and insightful walkthrough installing the Westin Pro-Series Front Bumper – check it out below.
Westin Bumper Installation Pro Tips
From the jump, Zach keeps it real with some tips that would be helpful for anyone installing this bumper.
Tip #1: Invest in a trim removal tool – it will make the entire job easier.
Tip #2: Be extra careful that you don’t destroy any clips or fasteners when removing the grille – pry tools and patience go a long way here. Remember, these specialty clips can sometimes be hard to find if you need to replace them.
“Now comes the not-so-fun part, and that’s popping this grille loose. It’ easy but scary at the same time – hopefully I won’t break any clips.”

Tip #3: Making sure the “D” on the mounting bracket is facing the right direction before bolting it down. Seems like common sense, but it’s easy to overlook.
Tip #4: Sensor fastener hack: Flare the tabs slightly so they grab onto the new bumper better when you re-insert them.
Westin Pro-Series Bumpers: Full Sensor Compatibility
Unlike his previous bull bar setup, all of Zach’s factory parking sensors work perfectly with this Westin bumper. And if you don’t have parking sensors, the bumper has a mesh cover for the area.
“I had a bull bar with my stock bumper and couldn’t use some of the parking sensors. Now, with the Westin Pro, all of them work.”

The Westin Pro-Series Front Bumper is built for both form and function – aggressive styling meets real-world compatibility. And don’t be afraid to make minor mods to get the look you want. Zach chose to trim the fender liner that was exposed after installing the new Westin bumper – the result looks great.
