Default Installing rear bumper cover on Honda Accord 2005

how hard is it to remove and put on a new rear bumper cover on Honda Accord 2005? (i think 2003-2005 all the same).

Body shop wants 600 to do the job ($305 for new bumper cover).

I can get a painted one on EBAY for $270 shipped, or a primed one for $150 shipped. I was thinking it is just a few bolts, take off and put on.

Is it really that easy?

Sorry, but don't do it. You are going to spend money to ugly up your car, and lower the resale value. Please, just say no. Just my opinion.

This is a fairly easy job; there will be attachments at the rear of the rear tires, then a couple plastic clips underneath and when you open the trunk you can see the plastic clips on the top of the bumper cover.
If you can get one painted to match you are way ahead than to have the body shop screw it up

Ok, I thought you were talking about one of those things that go over the stock bumper (ugly as hell).
