nose removal

my girlfriend just crashed my car. i need to replace the front nose piece. i was thinking about getting the ones with the fog light opening from a junk yard. how hard is it to take off the nose and put it on.

It's easy, just time consuming. There's no difference between the noses with and without foglights. It's just the grill insert that's different.

Just screws and bolts. The grille should use Torx heads. The hardest ones to get are the upper ones that attach to the fender, but nothing too difficult.

Easy to find, just go around the complete outside edge. I'd start at the bottom, if for no other reason than to keep the bumper from dropping down on you while you remove it.

Lots, there are 30ish for the lower spoiler,3 on the bottom of the both fenders for the spoiler, 4 or 5 on the backside of the fenders where the bumper meets. Then you have the hood latch area where there is the black cover that connects to the bumper, it has 10 or 15 small bolts.The head light assembly has 3 or 4 bolts that attaches it to the front frame area.It took me only 2 hours to completly take the bumper off the car.
