It all depends on where you get all your parts. Best bet is looking on ebay or in the Junkyards.
Honestly the pieces arent too bad to line up. They werent for me anyways.
You can also purchase all new Plastic clips at O'Riely's or Autozone for the bumper.

Pretty simple.
Though I bought those 2 brackets you show in the pic that go to the fenders, I never needed them. Everything worked fine without them. There is a braket you will need from the GM house. It bolts the frame to the Bumper (top center). I dunno if it's different for the Firebirds or not but I did need that piece. I ran about $30 from the GM house.
