Installing Rear Bumper
I found a painted one on ebay from rubpart901. Every once in a while you'll find one for a good deal. I got them down to $275 shipped and they claim it's a 9/10 as far as condition and they have a 100% feedback so we shall see.
So despite the tracking info saying it's coming the 19th, I got a call today saying it arrived. I had to rely on my tetris skills to get it in the car but got it home and it looks good. I'd really love to get it on today
Edit: Making a trip to Lowe's to get a cordless drill. I live with my mom=no tools other than ones I've bought. Then I'm going to see what I can do with getting it on/off

You shouldn't have a problem swapping it out.
Went on pretty easy. Have to say the hardest part was getting the wheel well screws out just because I find it to be a P.I.T.A. jacking up the car and taking the wheels off. Otherwise, was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Looks good but the rocker panels don't flow well with it
Those screws are easily removed with a ratchet type screw driver.
It's like a flat wrench with incorporated Philips bits at the end.
Or make your own temporarily with a 1/4 ratchet and stick a Philips bit in a 5/16-8mm socket...

. Pics?
Just quick grabbed this off of a car club's photo album, from a cruise earlier. I'll try to take some better pics tomorrow, it's raining now

$275 painted and shipped is a heck of a deal! Good find. I would love to have one of those but when I was looking I couldn't find one under 500 if memory serves me right.
That's why I ended up just cutting my V6 bumper for free...
