Rep Power: 0 Replacing front bumper cover (EF2)
The other day on the freeway a big old rock (I think) put a big dent in my front bumper cover and since it's gotten scratched up over the years I was thinking of getting an aftermarket bumper cover off ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/351092519814?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) and replacing it myself. I've taken off the bumper before (to install headlights) and although it was a simple thing to do, I seem to remember that the bumper cover attaches to several other pieces (like the front grille, etc.) before the combined piece gets attached to the front end of the car.
Can anyone who has done this before let me know if replacing the bumper cover with an aftermarket one is likely (based on the ebay description or other past experience with aftermarket bumper covers) to be a simple DIY job? That is, transfer a few pieces from the old cover and then just bolt/clip it back on?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Aftermarket = ALMOST fits.
Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
Some modifications may be needed to get it to work/fit as desired.
