I have ordered a Tigershark front facia, anyone have any info as to how much trouble it is to get the old one off, any tricks I should know about, anything to watch for when taking the old one off? Thanks

It's easy... the Tigershark comes with good instructions. However, you don't have to take the headlights out as they say, you can reach the two nuts on the fendeer-to-facia brackets with extensions from below or small hands from above. You'll see when you get to it.

Make sure to bag/tag all your hardware.

Here's my tear-down thread from last year, hope it gives you an idea of what you need to do.
