I got into a little accident yesterday and my front bumper is a bit messed up and I want to put a new one one when I get it this monday. I was just wondering if there is anyone who has changed one themselves and can point me in either a site that can instruct me on how to do it myself or if they can help me out in anyway it would be great. I'd just rather do things myself and learn how to do some body work since I already do all my own engine work and suspension. The only thing I would rather have someone do is the painting since I don't have the room or equipment myself.

Did you already buy the bumper? Newtakeoffs.com has them painted your color for pretty good price, like $200 plus shipping. They also have videos on their web site that show some of the body work being done. I have not replace the front, but I hear pretty straight forward. Good luck!

It comes off easier than you think it will ,, Just go easy on the clips holding the inner fenders on

I got the haynes manual and found the website too. That pretty much tells me where the screws are and thanks for the sites also but I realized after looking at it better that the front bumper isn't all that damaged and I'm only going to take it off to check if anything under it is damaged from the hit, it was only about 25mph but still. But I know I'm changing the hood today when I go get it in a few hours bad part is the hood is black but it shouldn't look to bad considering my cars color.


I have another question though, I went to a guy that has his owns a body shop he said he would install a body and take out any dings and dents on the car and repaint it for $1500. How's that around in pricing? or I thought it was decent, but I don't do body work.

What about fenders? I think I might need to change them. If I can find them for cheap
