Front bumper cover replacement

Girlfriend hit another car and concrete wall with a 2001 XLT Escape. Busted the headlight and front bumper cover. I have not look at it yet, but plan to replace it myself. What am I getting myself into or is an easy bolt on replacement.

My Haynes manual shows about 20 various bolts/screws for the cover. It's all bolt-on. I question whether that's all the damage after hitting a concrete wall. I totaled my 2002 Escape after hitting a donkey while dodging a horse three weeks ago (I'm not making this up) on a dark country road. It wasn't a hard impact (no airbag deployment) but it damaged the hood, fenders, and everything in front of the engine. Lots of various brackets and other structure behind that plastic front is easily damaged.

It was a low speed impact. It had been snowing and she slide on the snow.

There is a youtube video shows exactly how it comes off. It is advertised as an escape grille replacement. Very thorough.
