First, there is a lot of plastic. The metal bolts are mounted on plastic. I recommend if you can leave the vehicle in a warm place. I like to leave mine overnight in the shop with the heat cranked up if I am messing with this plastic crap. I just turned down a grill that a lot of the plastic brackets were busted off that held the bolts.
While you could salvage one by thru bolting with SS bolts that might not be the look you want.
The white plastic push buttons can be replace if they break. The other push in clips are not real tight, so if it does not come off easy, you have some bolts left!!

It's seems to be coming along pretty well Dwight. I gotta ask you some questions about the skidplate and where to cut it because I still need to figure that task out... :gaah:
