- the front and rear bumpers DONT have airbag sensors and stuff.
-some body kits replace the whole front bumper like buddy club, xenon. kaminari and tsunami though have add-ons or "front lips". (kaminari and tsunami do have whole front bumper replacement though).
- its a matter of taste. the oem body kit is just the front lip.

It's really the bumper cover. You either replace it or put on a lip. Either way you just remove the bumper cover, not the actual bumper. No fooling with airbag sensors.

NO worries. It the bumper comes off with a couple of screws and fasteners. It's just a big piece of shiitty plastic.

[You should go look at the DIY for fog light installation. That shows you how to remove and replace the front bumper cover. That's all you need to know to install a kit. Well, besides the instructions for the other parts. Also be aware that some front bumpers aren't made to snap right on like the OEM on e. Some drilling and fitting is required on some.

Plus, if you don't buy and OEM kit, then you will have to paint or have a body shop paint your aftermarket kit. More $$
