It is too cold to figure out if it is still good. One side of the valence was lose so I guess it was bound to happen.

Default Parking "too close" and parking "in the" snowbank are two seperate things

sounds like you did the latter.

Default I parked so my bumper was right up against the bank

Not thinking that this would cause any damage. I had to so everyone else in my parking lot could get by because there was so much damn snow...so I blame the snow..oh well

Default Lining up all the little teeth with all the little holes in the bumper cap stinks. And the plastic..

...rivets in the wheel wells are a pain too. I ended up cutting those plastic rivets and using stainless steel screws and nuts in their place.
