So my new to me GS that I haven't even owned for a month was hit with some semi tire tread in Chicago this morning. It knocked out one of my parking sensors. A quick google search yielded that the repairs would cost about $1400 and if I were to purchase the sensor it would cost roughly $240.

So.... How hard is it to remove the bumper on this car and replace myself? I'm a handy and fairly meticulous- Is it even worth messing with? Insurance deductible is 1K. So this is an out of pocket transaction.

 

its not hard to replace yourself just gotta be smart about it..look at the diagrams and know where there are clips and screws because some force is required to pull panels out(seems like you are about to break it but not) the sensors are not hard to replace

 

Removing the front bumper is easy, its a fair amount of bolts but not hard to do. You probably don't need instructions but I'll give them to you anyways so that you know what to look for.
