Re: corolla 1997 bumper and hood replacement. anybody done this? any special tools?

I painted all the pieces inside a shed using a couple treble lights for heat/light and to be honest it work quite well. I would point the lamps directly on the hood and do a feeler test to see if it was warm enough. If taking this route, be sure to give yourself some ventilation, so you dont get sick.

Also the lights I used put off a good deal of heat, so I was able to work outside if I stayed in close proximity of the light...just a thought

As far as the location of the bolts, I had no guidence, except for having to tear all the wrecked sheet metal off from the wreck. Once you get into it, it will be more simple then you think.

This was last winter so a couple details might be off a tad:

Bumper
4 bolts under the grill
4-6 bolts on the underside by the apron.
and 2+ bolts on the inside of each fender under the fender apron.

I found this for you at autozone.com for hood install
