you'll have to drill out the rivit tops that hold the front one one on top...and the sides bolt to the front fenders.....as for the rear....inside in the wells the rear bumper cover bolts to the rear quarter lip and along the bottom of the rear cover are plastic retainers that must be removed...after that a little pulling and they come off

the front bumper cover is easy, when i got my 93 it was wrecked and i had to change the whole core support and everything. you shouldnt have a problem with it
