Do you have to remove the front bumper cover to perform the install?

No, you will have to remove hardware in your wheel wheels and behind the grille to switch out the parts however.

No, bumper removal is not required, but it is a bit a a tight fit. When I initially tried to get it installed it didn't look like there was any way it would go. You just need to move the brackets around a bit to get them installed. They will go. Make sure to tighten down the bolts holding the hoop to the brackets very snug, so the hoop doesn't wobble.

Hi Brad, no the bumper does not need to be removed. It bolts to the frame and hangs just below the bumper. It was a 15 minute installation.

Hi,You may use the accessories from your stock bumper to complete and install this rear bumper on your pickup. Sorry installation instructions are not included, we recommend to have someone professional help you during installation.

Yes. You have to drill holes in your bumper. I used small plastic wall anchors screws in the bumper. Put it on a year ago. No problems at all

Not on my Rav. There are several plastic fasteners on the top of the bumper that are pried off and used to reattach the new part. Small tool was included. Removal and reuse of these fasteners took a little finesse.

Unfortunately, you will need to partially remove the bumper cover. This is a video to show you how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v;=IaauQtb9lyQThe screws you need to remove to replace the headlights are located below the fender. Remove the bumper as much as you need to get at those screws.

NO. You remove the old fasteners & save them, remove the old guard, line up the existing holes with the new guard, remove the adhesive protective strips, press the new guard in place and re-install the fasteners into the new guard and bumper.

No you don't need to. It fits just fine. It touches the back headrests. You could probably remove those. But I don't have by problems with mine. Love it.

Yes, you must remove the existing rubber in order to install the new petals covers. Be patient on the install and be sure to use warm soapy water as slipping these new covers over the metal assembly will prove to be very challenging.

You will have to remove it, It mounts where the aftermarket hitch mounts. This bumper has a hitch, witch works just fine.

No, just the bumper and you need to mount to the factory brackets that mount to the frame.

If your requires front plates then yes because it covers your front bumper. lucky for me I didn't need to.

Its as simple as removing the front bumper and taking a few screws off and replacing the Fog Light Assembly. It took me a total of 20min to do, but I've also taken my front bumper off numerous times. If its your first time it may take awhile to learn where all the bolts are and where to pull. Be patient and google front bumper removal for your year and make of vehicle.
