Weird about the bolt retainers - I had to open the ears a little bit with pliers, but my bolts fit inside with no more trouble. The bag of hardware I received was completely sealed, so maybe it was an early version thats been sitting in a corner for a long while.

Wish someone had warned me to buy extra plastic rivets to hold the new steel bumper to the bumper cover - I broke about half removing them and had to make an emergency run to Advance Auto on Sunday around 7pm. After some scrouging, I found some plastic rivets that were close and was able to wrap it up.

Curious. How did the bumper re-fit go. The instructions suggest you push the mounts up as far as they will go then torque the 3 and 9 o'clock bolts to 65nm. How much fiddling was required to get the gaps right? Still not sure which gaps I'll be looking for when the time comes.
