Default How hard is removing the front bumper cover?

I found a place on ebay that will sell a bumper cover painted shipped to my house for around $250. But ive heard horror stories abt ppl removing the covers themselves i was jsut wondering if anyone would be able to throw me some advice? thanks!

Bumper cover was straight forward with me. If you have any specific questions, just buy a haynes manual or pm me when you get the cover and I'll go through it step by step with you.

Pretty easy. Just start by pulling out the headlights and you'll see what bolts and nuts you need to remove from there.

very simple. if you can change your oil you can take off the bumper cover. make sure you put painters tape around the part of the bumper where your headlights are. it may sound stupid but youll be glad you did when you go to put them back in. it will save it from being scratched up.

Must be the easiest part to change on these cars. It takes me longer to get the tools out, than it does to R&R the bumper cover.
