Default how hard is it to align fascia?

Well i want install my SLP grille , but I'm shaky on tearing me stock grille out, and i was just wondering how hard it is to realign the front fascia? Is it going to just pop back into place or should i be concerned? I found this GUIDE but it doesn't show any alignment or anything

Its as easy as hitting water after falling out of a boat. The only spot that needs a little attention is right next to the headlight where the fender meets the cover. Just line it up with your hand before tightening the long bolt next to the light, the rest of the cover will only go on one way.

You can just rip the old grill out of your bumber but only if its never been repainted. If it has been repainted the distortion of the cover from the force it takes to rip the grill out can cause stress cracking of possibly flaking depending on how it was prepped. No aftermarket paint reguardless if a fex agen was used or not is as flexable/durable as the original.
