Help with Camaro front bumper cover install

[ZandSS]

I damaged the front bumper cover of my 00 Camaro SS and need to replace it. I will do it myself. It looks straight forward but if anyone else has done this, are there any tricks or pitfalls I should know? Also, any difference between a GM and a repro cover that would justify the difference in price?

Thanks.

the main tricks and pitfalls are to take off and put back on same day. this way you know where all the fasteners go and how the cover is supposed to be put on. there are no tricks. bumper covers suck and they take awhile. grab a few beers and put your best foot forward with a good period of free time. set forth to do the job and finish it. youll have a labor of love when you are done. if the fbody bumper covers are anything like other cars i have worked on, plan on having to pick up some new clips and possible missing screws from the dealer.
