Has anyone installed their own rear bumper cover?? I have a 98 Cavi and poor Cavi needs a little makeover, is this a difficult do-it-yourselfer?

Thanks,
J

Its not that hard to replace the cover, there is 3 screws in the trunk area, on each side, and there are 2 push clips under the car. When u get the bumper off u will see that there's a bracket on the bumper that looks like a L on each side there will be 2 more screws and these will come off. U will need these for the new bumper. I'm not sure but i think the only tools u should need will be a 10mm socket, a phillps screw driver, and a set of needle nose pliers.

5150cavy is right
It's easy to change rear bumpers and the only thing I would warn you is to make sure your clearance for the trunk lid and the gaps are correct (everything works/shuts) before you tighten it down.
