Default front bumper cover

someone hit my car this weekend and apparently were in a hurry and the note they left with their contact info blew away. luckily they only hit the front bumper and it is fixable. ive got a few quotes for fixing it and its $500. same as my deductable. ive got about every automotive tool and do all the work to my car myself. headers, exhaust, brakes, ect. im thinking about prepping the bumper cover myself. ive got to see how much id save, but has anyone else removed it and how much of a pain in the a$$ was it. also would be much easier to do the mods i had planned.
zo6 fog light screens, hid hi/lo, fog lights, clear corner lights. thanks

Removing the front bumper is pretty simple (removed it for the first time and took about an hour). Just follow these steps
