I want to replace the front bumper cover on my 2011 ss and I wondered if someone has done a step by step how to do it?

I think there are several threads in the DIY section. Here is one example, but there are probably others.

Took mine off several times....it's pretty easy. Just be sure you have a place to put it when you take it off. That sounds stupid but you will know what I mean when you pull it off and you are standing there with it in your hands!

I took mine off like 3 years ago to put on my heritage grille.. Don't remember it being easy at all.. There's about 50 plastic snap knails to remove.. Easy to find, sounds simple.. But those things suck to get out. Easy is the wrong word.

As much as I like the look of the heritage grille, I have to ask: how much time did it take from step 1 to end?

Like all things with this car. Takes 2 hours to figure out the first time. Then 10 min the other 4 times you remove the bumper.
