Getting around to having a new front bumper cover painted and installed after a minor winter accident. I started wondering how difficult it would be to install a new one myself after I have it painted to save some dough. I've got access to a vehicle as long as I need it so it could sit for a few days for the install if required. Just thought I'd get some ideas on this if anybody has experience with it.

Thanks.

It is quite easy to do assuming the bolts are not too rusty. There are 3 10mm bolts going up from the bottom inside the fender area, the screws to remove the innfer fender, and then a couple push-in plastic pieces under the front in the opening. That'* about it. I've removed and replaced several front and rear bumper covers so far.

just have a helper line up the bumper when reinstalling it, you dont want to scratch it or the fenders

Good deal. I've got two friends I was just talking with about this and they are willing to help. I think we can tackle it by the sounds of it.

Thanks.

Hmmmmm...interesting.

I may give this guy a call.

I've decided to give this guy a shot based on his feedback. He accepted a Best Offer of $290 painted plus shipping. Hopefully things turn out well. I may be posting for some help once the bumper install takes place.
