Install Front bumper, easy or not????

[Wil]

Ok, I finally ordered a cobra front bumper from 50resto, I'm hopefully going to get my baby painted mid augest. Well, I'd really like to save as much money on the whole process so I want to install the bumper myself. Is it easy? What do I have to do? I'm no mechanic but do have common sense so do you all think I can install it myself or should I leave it to the pros??? Thanks for the help!!!

Easy **** man

where the fender meets the bumper, you'll have maybe 6-7 nuts going from top to the bottom. Remove those on each side. There will be an arm inside the fender on each side that braces it to the frame. Undo the nut for arm on each side.

there should be on the radiator support a couple of more ones up top securing it down, as well as a couple I think inside the engine compt that goes through to the header panel, and probably a few screws securing the cover to the bottom of the radiator support. Unplug the headlights, pull the bumper cover out.

If you have to re use your internal header panel, you're gonna break the rivets pulling it off. Order new ones from 50resto.

headlights and all lights except fogs I believe come out with the bumper cover.

Its easy to do, just take your time and make sure you get all the nuts off before you try to remove it, think there are 5-6 on each side.
