Anyways, since I had my accident last December, haven't been able to fix it thru insurance, and probably won't be able to anytime soon, I decided to cash the insurance check, and then make the repairs myself when I get the money (the check is only good for 6 months)... Anyways, from what I've seen, it looks as though I just have to replace the bumper cover and the driver's side headlight assembly (I got the grille back in place, and the headlight assembly is outta alignment, I think its just a nut was stripped off on impact or something), which to me seem somewhat easy... my questions are, how many bolts am I looking at to get the front bumper off?? I live in Central MA, how much am I looking at for a flawless bumper cover from, lets say, an automotive graveyard? How about the headlight Assembly - easy or hard to get off? Or should I just wait and go thru a bodyshop?

TIA

Aftermarket OEM style front bumper cover is only about $90 wholesale. Check ebay too. No need to waste your time on used junkyard bumper cover.

now is the front bumper a pain to replace?? And I assume I can get a new headlight assembly from ebay as well?

there is a bumper cover on ebay for like 43 or 45 bucks + shipping. you can usually pick up a headlight assembly for about 100. Give me a shout on my email - jrmelcher@aol.com with your info. I have an account with a company that deals with aftermarket replacement body parts. I usually get some pretty good prices.

Not as easy as honda cars, but not too bad. You will need to remove all the plastic shields from underneath the car. Remove the grill. Remove all the bumper lights and foglights. There are two bolts on each side holding the bumper to the fender. A bunch of plastic snaps holding the front top part of the bumper to the crush beam.
