Bumper cover replacement question
The front spoiler on my '10 GS is sagging in the center from the ocassional encounter with speedbumps and steep inclines. Was gonna see about just retightening it with newer bolts and maybe some wider washers to take up more of the stress on the mounting points. In the event I decide just to buy and paint a new cover.....how difficult is it to remove and replace? How long of a job is it? I havent seen (at least found) any other threads that detailed this directly.

Removing the front facia/bumper cover is not that difficult with a few basic tools and about 30 minutes.

A lot of times these bumper covers can be repaired so you might want to look into that before you buy a new cover. While you have the cover off it's a good time to inspect the welds for the lower radiator support brackets. They crack often. I had mine tig welded at a local shop.
