Bumper cover replacement - any BTDT's?

[Nate Stuart]

Yes, there are plastic guide clips on each side to keep the bumper skin
tucked in close to the fenders. Taking the existing bumper off is easy, but
you just have to take a little more time to get things lined up when putting
it back on. Not at all a hard job, just a little cumbersome.
