Installing a Rear Bumper

I have a 1996 2.5 TL, is it possible to install a rear bumper (just a new of the original) on my car myself. Does it clip in, or would I need to take it in?

Thanks

It clips on but there are a bunch of small plastic stays that you have to remove before you can get the bumper off.

The 2.5 and 3.2 rear bumpers are compatible.

The 3.2 and 2.5 front bumpers on the other hand are sorta kinda.

The 3.2 on a 2.5 looks but a 2.5 bumper on a 3.2 looks weird.

7 tl,

The bumper probably just needs to be put back into place.

Just push on the corner that's sticking out. It should pop back in. I do this all the time on my Civic. Parking in the Chinese areas of the city, haha.

~Cheers~
