I want to do the install myself, but unfortunately all my tools are 1200 mi away, so i would have to have them shipped if its anything more than a phillips or something

 

I wouldn't imagine you wouldn't need much but your basic tools for the install especially of a oem front bumper. I installed my nismo with a screwdriver and couple other basic tools.

 

10mm socket, flathead screwdriver, and possibly a long philips head (my preference) for getting the 2 screws (each side) that hold the bumper to fenders.

Just use the 10mm socket to remove the underbody cover from the bumper. Use the flathead screwdriver to remove the push tabs (not really sure what they are called) on the wheel well liner so you can pull it back to access the to screws on either side that attach to the bumper. If you turn the wheels all the way to either side it makes this process easier (all the way to the right for the driver sided and vice versa). Also use flat head to remove the push tabs on top of the bumper and grill. Finally as a precaution you might want to use blue painting tape to cover the area on the front fenders just above the bumper to avoid scratching the paint.

 

can be done by yourself but best with some help

This is a DIY for headlight removal, but it does cover the basics for removing the bumper part way, I think you will be able to figure out the rest since its only being held on by the 10 or so bolts under the bumper.....

Don't forget to tape up the sides of your fenders so your old bumper doesn't scratch them up.

 

Alright thanks everybody..I suppose this will be my next project
