I did it...but not myself..had a body shop do the "dirty" work....you need fenders, lights and bumper, and also new headlight washer parts, among other parts....especially the bolts to bolt the headlight in...they look the same but are not...and they cost about 40 buck a pop and you need 4 on each side ( I think...can be 6) you also need a couple of brackets and a wiring harness for the headlight (500 bucks, used)

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just wanted to know for all those who have done an 02 facelift and how long did it take? just want to get an idea about the time......thanks

POST 2Original post

Paint - a couple of days (can't really speed the process due to curing) Install - < 1 day easy Never did a facelift but I pulled the front bumper off, resprayed, and put back on in 2 days: -30 minutes or so to pull off -A couple of hours to block sand original paint -Spray took about a couple of hours (Dad did it) -Hour or so to wet sand -15-30 minutes buff with coarse, medium, and glaze compounds - < 1 hour to install Headlights should be plug and play I believe?

POST 3Original post

The front fenders have to be swapped as well.

They do, look the same to me?

I have read on Rennetech the harness needs to change for the lights, there is a headlight wiring harness on one side and a complete harness needed for the other.

Still easy money though. I still wonder about the fenders. I assumed just the hood and front bumper were different?

POST 7Original post

Definitely fenders. There's someone on Renntech who has been doing this and has more detailed info. I read the complete harness is around $3k but salvage it's about $400

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 5607118

Nope, fenders headlamps are a different shape. Fenders must be replaced.

POST 9Original post

Quotes source posts: 5607155, 5607159

Still, an easy job if all the parts are available at the time. Good thing I didn't make a bet on the fenders. hehe

(including hood..for a better color match)

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

that's hell a deal for $1100......but yep.... fenders, headlights, headlight trays, wiring harness, bumper all needs to be swapped out....... not the hood....
