anyone attached bumper after removal by themselfs?

okay, so i have never done this before.... i had taken off my front bumper with a friends help, and then it got late so he had to go home. that would mean, he left me hanging with a car that has been taken apart with no bumper attached. so, i decided wtheck.. why wait til morning to do this and i decided to put it back on. man oh man it took me about 20minutes to put it on.....

i am SO not taking off my bumper again... lol

Yeah when I took mine off it took me forever to figure out what I was doing. Plus most of my clips were there but there were broken and wouldn't come out!

Putting it on is much easier than taking it off the first time. I could put one on in under 5 min now. Its pretty easy.

Yeah, ive taken my bumper on and off so many times for test fitting retrofits than I can do it in about 10 mins or less. Piece of cake, but another person holding the other side of the bumper would help as well.
