It's really quite easy. The bigger pain is going to be getting the sides to snap back in place when you go to put it back on

Well if you don't need to actually take it off for maintenance or some such, you can snap the sides back in without removing it. I've found the best way to do it is to put the bottom clip in first, then shove the bumper in towards the center line of the car, then up into the top clip, if that makes any sense?
