I haven't seen any full DIY threads but a few have posted that they did it, with difficulty. It is doable but you need some ability and patience. Since you didn't say "why" you need to replace these you might review this thread for info. Post 3 has pics to give you an idea where you have to get to. Good luck.
The ones on our 2009 coupe have never been distrubed since it left the factory, and they look to be in the proper place. But there is some variation in the fenders and bumper around the gasket. If I kneel down in front of the car and and look carefully, I can see that the gap between the fender/bumper and the gasket, ranges from 0 in some places to almost 1/8" in other places.
I think they are for appearance, not for actual sealing. So a cosmetic-only repair might be easier.

Let us know how it turns out!
Thanks for posting this - I was thinking the front of my car was bumped/fixed/reassembled poorly (bought the car used), given how... variable the bumper fitment is around the headlights. But if this can happen from the factory, then that's probably the most likely explanation.
Or... someone took the bumper off and did a ****** job putting it back together.
