Default Changing Front bumper
Going to change out front bumper next week sometime. In looking at shop manual it looks fairly straight forward. Anybody have any experience with that and any tips?

Get a long extension for the bolts that hold the fascia to the fenders.

I usually remove the headlight buckets (six nuts, and the wires) to make it a bit easier access.
