I recently bought a used bumper off audiworld classifieds to replace my old one which had been badly gouged by a trailer hitch. I just received the new (used) bumper and it looks fine, but the valence (the lower black trim) is cracked and not attached to the bumper. There are black plastic rivets/tabs/things on either end of the bumper that look like they'll simply snap right into corresponding holes on the valence. So does that mean that the valence can be "snapped" in or out? I ask because I want to use the valence from my old bumper which is in perfect condition, and plan on installing the new bumper myself.

The tabs can become brittle. Use a small screwdriver and a set of needle nose pliers to press the tabs.

That and the bolts for the belly pan/wheel liner

That's a given. :-P

Cool. That's the answer I was hoping for.

I have no idea how many of those little half turn screws or bolts there are.

TANMAN

They don't???
