Re: Hard to install these?

Guys, it's a bumPer! Sorry to sound pissy, but I see this on so many automotive forums. We need to sound like we have a clue and know what the car's parts are correctly called. I just did a search on TGO and found over 247 threads using the word bumber instead of bumper. That just isn't right on an automotive message board and such a common part.

Re: Hard to install these?

There are roughly a dozen plastic push pins on the rear and about half a dozen on the front bumper cover to pull, several bolts, and four nuts on each side of the front and 3 on the rear bumper to pull, not counting headlight hardware for your Camaro. Make sure to use some penetrating oil on the nuts inside of the fenders that hold the bumper to the fender or you'll end up like I did with broken brackets.
