Well first off you need to fill out a profile. Cause no one can really help you unless you fill it out. This also needs to be in exterior forum instead of General. For you to swap over the bumper you don't need anything at all. I'm going to post up the stuff from Dealerworld for you. If you don't understand what it is sayin' then maybe you should let someone help you from the org, but really it is easy as hell. I can e-mail with the drawings, but I don't like to really give it out. These are for the front

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application.

As for the sides you are just going to have to use like self taping srews on them to hold them up by the pinch weld. As for the clips that might be a PITA cause if you car didn't ever have them you will not have the holes for them. Do the rear and front for now, and maybe someone can help you out.
