Really not hard, I could prob have both side fenders and nose off in an hour or two. just a bunch of bolts, the bumper support really does its job when putting it back on.

Id say changing the oil is harder then pulling the nose lol

lswon is Far different then LT1. Lt's Suck but arent that bad. more trouble you will have is with the old rusted/rotted bolts attaching the bumper to the fender/bumper side support brackets.

yea i know its been off atleast once and replaced because it has shitty paint and its missing the camaro emblem from the center of the nose so i believe its an aftermarket pos. but thanks for the tips. is it easier to change the fog light bulbs with the nose off too?
