Not bad at all..👠I took my bumper cover off to wire up aftermarket fog lamps and it was a pain.
For mine, in this order.. upper radiator/fan protection has to come off ðŸ‘then middle trim piece in front of the radiator/oil cooler has to come offðŸ‘each headlight assembly has to come out 👠now you can start to undo the upper fasteners to the BCðŸ‘wheel well splash guards on each side has to be detached from the BC and fender so you can pull it back to access fasteners 👠then you have to go underneath the car and take off another splash shield to get at the BC fasteners below👠now you can begin to detach the BC fasteners below.. and it helps to have a 2nd hand steady/keep from dropping the bumper cover and messing up the paint job.
If all goes well and no fasteners/clips break (yeah right), it's a 2hr job from start to finish/putting it back on. Seriously, I would pay someone $150 to do all that.. like I said previously, it's not rocket science.. it's just a pain, especially when you have a bad back like I do.
