Default Getting ready to install a GT rear bumper cover

I am about ready to have my gt bumper cover painted. The shop said they can install it after its painted for $75. I was thinking of saving the $75 and doing in myself. Has anyone here installed one of these or know of any online guides? I have been trying to find one online.

I got my bumper from a new takeoff place. It was missing the black re enfocement brace that is a part of the bumper. I noticed the difference when I took the old one off and campared them side by side, (some newer ones may or may not be like the one I had) I had to drill out the rivets and re use the brackets,,I used drywall screws but I am sure new rivets would be "more professional" As I say your new bumper may have all this already and it wont be a problem.
Be sure to save those irritating little tree like clips to use when re installing the bumper..

and it hs been two years now and the bumper is still there,,safe and sound...
