I was driving to work couple of nites ago and a vague shape appeared
in the distance that looked like some cardboard. Ended up being a
couch. Well the bumper did it's job. Amazingly I have no body damage
and very few scratches but I've got a nasty dent in the bumper on the
passenger side. I want to buy a new one on partstrain.com. The
Chilton's shows a pretty easy removal for the bumper (four bolts on
top, underneath the black plastic radiator cover, and two bolts
underneath). Does anyone have any added info about front bumper
removal and replacement, and any tips on getting those plastic pushpin
thingys that hold the radiator cover on to come off and go in without
too much hassle? They look like they might be easy to snap off. Many
thanks.

It was real simple. Didn't know those pushpins were the spreader type
anchors. Once I removed the center pin, the shell came out easily.
The bumper is easy to reach: 6 bolts (4 on top 2 bottom), once the
radiator grill is off.
