How hard is it to replace the front bumper cover on a 2000 Mustang?

Question

Is this something a novice can do? Has anyone done it before who can give me tips? Thanks.

Answer 1

i had the same problem with my 2000 mustang and let me tell u....changing a bumper is no easy thing. i started off by myself and ended up in a shop. there is a tool kit that u can buy to change the bumper.
and if you are just asking about the black flexible cover that u put on to protect it....well thats real simple to do but u will need two people to do. that is something u can do...if you buy it brand new it will come with step by step direction but before you buy it make sure it will fit. i would suggest that u don't put the cover on....it ruins the paint job over time and it will look hideous.

Answer 2

I'm in the process of doing the same thing.

I'm going to have it done professionally (it's expensive) because it's not something I want to fool around with myself. I don't have the tools necessary and if I mess up during the installation process the car will look like sh*t and it'll have to stay looking like that until someone can bail me out.

To me, it's worth paying for the install.
