Replacing Chrome Bumper
I'm going to soon be replacing the chrome piece of my front bumper. I am just wondering if there are any tricks that will make it easier? Aslo, do the rivets that hold the upper trim on just pull out so they can be reused or do they need to be replaced? Thanks

Ok, that helps. The plastic rivets that hold the upper trim can be reused if taken off carefully. I think there's a special tool to pop them off, I just used some pliers to pull out the inner part and that releases it. You should go to the car wash and really clean the underside of the bumper before you start. That way you won't eat so much dirt or get stuff in your eyes (wear goggles!).

Thanks for the help, i had wondered if pliers would work on those rivets. Before I start I'll be sure to pressure wash it good and wear some eye protection. Thanks again now I just need some free time to get it done!
