I replaced my front bumper with the Trueflex fiberglass one from Wilcox, made by Toledo Pro. Mine did not go as easy as the article states but it wasn't that bad. I do not understand why they say you have to take the headlamp door covers off. I was able to reach the nuts without doing that using a nut driver for most and a small ratchet and socket for the rest.
