It took me about 10 minutes to get the old bumper off (That includes taking off both front wheels). Putting on the new one took a little over an hour because I had to grind down some metal to get the new one to fit. I bought it from BulletProof Automotive. I'm still waiting for the sides to come in. Here are some pics...

Are you experienced with working with this kind of stuff? i have never done this before would it be hard? i do not know how to grind down the stuff, would i be better off giving it to a shop? could i keep the old grille on, or do i have to change it to the one you have on? thanks

i am comparing between the Wald, and the Gialla. i think i might already have the nismo kit on the car, i did not purchase this car new, and i am not sure if there is a kit, i belive there is but i do not know. i like the wald kit, but it does not look like much of a difference from my car right now. i want my car to stand out, and that is the reason i wanna get the Gialla.

It wasn't hard, but I did have a grinder. There are really just 4 screws holding the bumper on. There are some of those plastic clips also (you see them when you open your hood). You also need to remove 2 rivets (with a drill) and put in 2 new rivets in the Gialla kit. Those are required to keep the side markers in place. So, for the cost of getting a body shop to do it (I was quotes 2 hours) you could buy a grinder and a rivet gun. Even a novice could handle doing this fairly easily. The Gialla bumper comes with wire mesh grills for all openings (4). I painted them flat black to make them disappear. I also painted the top frame of the grill black. Here is a picture of what it looked like before the paint... (See above for "After")

One thing you need to be prepared for... This bumper is lower than the stock bumper. My car was lowered before I installed the bumper. Now I have just 3.75" clearance with the ground. This does require some care, but I have found that I can still go everywhere I used to, but it was scary at first. If you car isn't lowered, there won't be an issue at all (but it looks really cool lowered!).

I need to replace my side skirts on my gialla kit, I couldnt see a dip on a driveway at night and "crack". I have had it for 3 years now and its lasted me a long time. Great kit and not to many people with it.

I'm expecting my sides to arrive in about a month. How much lower than stock are they? (I'm hoping they won't be lower than the front is already.)
