I don't know about an Alero, but I've swapped bumpers on my 1995 Ford Escort more times than I can remember. It's very easy. I'd say easier than an oil change.

It'd be really easy to replace the bumper on that Alero, most of what holds it on was destroyed.

Welcome. We need more girls on this site

Glad you're OK and going to fix the car, even happier to hear that you like the Alero better than a Mustang GT

the bumper isnt bad to take off....pull the headlights out (2 metal bars for each one that pull up, then pull the headlights out....after their out, you can get a small ratchet with a 10mm socket....3 10mm bolts that go DOWN into the bumper from the fenders....each side has 3. you can get the 2 front ones on each side from the headlight pockets....the back one you just pull the clips in the wheel well, move wheel liner aside and get the 10 on that bolt. along the bottom there are clips....2 clips behind where the license plate is... couple 10s on the bottom too i think..... but yea, bumper removal time will take u about 20-30 min depending on how fast u work Good luck!

oh and check the radiator to make sure there is no damage....a lot of times when there is damage to the condenser there is damage to the radiator.....when u pull the condenser out CHECK THE RADIATOR VERY GOOD....top to bottom, side to side....check to see if its twisted or not..

Hope this helped!
