I'm sure it is pretty easy, but looking to see what it looks like to see how long it may take me to do. Going to try and tear it apart, change out some things, and put it back together in one afternoon aan trying to gauge how much time I will need to do it.

Front Bumper is easy 4 Bolts, 2 under the bottom and 2 up top under the plastic plug caps and unplug the DRL Lights before you pull it away too far or beforehand.
Official Manual description is as follows, Rear View is distorted due to resizing to fit for uploading.
Hope that helps you out
