No need to take out the headlights...SilverGhost wrote:I had the bumper on my '06 replaced three years ago. Although I don't have hands-on experience, I know that it isn't a cake walk. There are clips and screws and pop rivets scattered all around the thing. The pop rivets have to be drilled out. I know for a fact that the grill and headlights have to be removed in order to access all those things, as well as the black trim pieces along the lower edge. I had NO sheet metal damage, yet it took three body shop guys to "persuade" the new bumper to fit right. And, yes, it was OEM Nissan, not aftermarket.

It was a bit of a challenge getting the new plastic to go in though.
