I know its stupid, it just confuses me when they say "bumper COVER" ... Is there anything else I need to put it on? New fasteners or bolts or something? I told you I'm not super car smart. :P BUT IM TRYING!!!
That should be all you need, just reuse the factory hardware to fasten and finish.

bumper cover is just the rubber cover, you may want to get some extra plastic clips since they like to break, and reuse everything from teh old one

Just take a couple clips out and go to a body shop. They should be able to match them up. I did the same thing when I took off my cover and had it painted.

All you need is the the cover, there is a crash pad behind it which helps it keep its shape. The only pieces you have to swap over would be the corner lenses and emblem. This is also a good time to get a custom emblem on the front.

Are you sayin I should buy clear corner lenses right now too since I was going to anyway? Yeah, and I was wondering about the front emblem area ... when you look at my car now (see picture), it is black right there with the red chevy emblem ... when it's painted it will all be painted white ... What should I do? ... Slap some emblem in the middle? Or should I try to paint that part black agian? ...

Personally I like the areas around the headlights and between the fog lights to stay black, I don't think they look good the body color unless its black of course!!

Clear corners of course, I would almost recommend getting a set of smoked lenses, it might look good with your car. But if you go with the clear, get the diamond clear lenses. They look A LOT better then others..

I was also referring to the emblem thats under your bra. Its only about an inch wide and maybe two inches long, that one. You can get lots of custom pieces on Ebay, just do a search for them.

Yeah, I should have the eyeliner and between the fog lights painted black agian. Smoked lenses... Hmm ... I'm not sure if i've ever seen those, I'll have to check em out! Yeah the diamond ones are the crystal clear ones instead of just the white ones, right?... Your car has diamond clear's on it?

Oh, the emblem under my bra. The one that I forgot about cuz I barely ever see it. Sweet, yeah a custom one would be awesome ... Ready for another n00b question? ... What would I use to put the emblem on? Thanks for all the help ForceFed! U rock.

Most of them come with adhesive already on them. If not just go to an autoparts store and pick up the thinest double sided adhesive tape, 3M type and you should be all set.

This is the emblem I have on my car and it looks pretty sweet IMO...

Really good quality and looks amazing. Kinda pricey just for an emblem, but I think its worth the price..

And yeah, I have the diamond clear on it. I am looking to get some smoked so if you want a set of diamond let me know..

Alright, cool! ... Thanks for the help. Yeah, that is an awesome emblem that you got, I'm tryin to find a v6 one, or just one that doesn't say Z28 or SS. ... Yeah, those diamond corners are awesome... Eventually I'm going to want some diamond clear corners for sure so let me know when you pick up your smoked ones, and hopefully I'll be ready for some diamond ones! ...
