My car came back from the body shop without the front fenders or the bumper on. How do I put these back on?

 

With bolts...

 

This is not necessarily an easy job. Yes, there are bolts, thanks Pocket.

Anyway, did the body shop give you all the hardware? Getting the fenders, nose, and hood gaps to line up is going to take a while and can be a pain. Have anyone to help you who knows what they are doing?

 

Probably already thought of this, but make sure to tape all your edges with painters tape to avoid dings. As mentioned, a second set of hands will make sure your paint stays nice. Other types of tape may harm the new finish. I think you get the back side lined up first to the door - make sure gap is even and the height is OK. Then work your way towards the front. You might be better off buying a new front end hardware kit from one of the fastner suppliers. You may need extra J-Clips/bolts if any were ruined when took apart due to rust, etc. Napa also carries them if you only need a few. I've never did it on a third gen , but on a 2nd gen.
