    I was wondering if anybody has took apart all three pieces on the front bumper, I bought a new center valance for mine and just wasn't positive on how it came apart exactly or goes back together because some of the bolts are tucked under the plastic. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    You shouldn't have any trouble with it at all honestly. Easy stuff.
