Default How hard is it to install front bumper?

I have a front Fab bumper that I want to take out and install the stock bumper, how hard is to do this? Will I need any special tools to do this?
I was thinking of taking it to the shop, but if it's doable, I'd do it myself.

Thanks!

It's quite doable on your own. Mostly a bunch of 10mm bolts holding everything together. You do need to remove the headlights to get access to it.

Cool thanks man!
I'll do it when L.A. starts warming up.

Once done I'll have this Fab style front bumper for sale, if anybody wants it.
There are a few cracks at the bottom and bottom corners.

Didn't have to take HL's out to get this one off and on.
Do the years make for different removal? This is a 2012.

No, I'm just an idiot.

You need to remove the bumper to take off the headlights, not the other way around.

Its super easy to do, a hand full of clips, a bunch of 10mm bolts, and a couple of places where the bumper snaps in. It'll take you maybe 15mins to do. Just be careful not to brake any to the plastic snap in points.

Tools need: 10mm socket w/ratchet, blade screw driver
