How difficult to replace front bumper cover?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...#ht_2115wt_941

Wife had a rock put a nice hole in her bumper cover (02 SE). Estimates are around $800 for replacement, paint, etc.

However, I found a place on eBay that will ship a painted bumper cover for around $250. The "problem" is that I have to install it myself.

How painful is that? Is it a bolt-on operation?

search is your best friend for future reference...there was this exact thread posted not too long ago.

However, putting the bumper cover on is really very simple. It is just a few poptabs and a couple screws. The only problem you might run into with that ebay cover is it might not fit perfect since its most likely not oem. but otherwise its very simple. good luck man
