u don't need to remove your bumper to install it. the grill goes over your original bumper

correct. the bumper does not have to be removed. i would think it would be much easier if it were removed but its not needed.

Its won't be easy but I'm sure you can do it. See if the DIY thread that shows the bumper removal if the PDF I attached at the end shows anything that may help you decide.
