R&R Front Bumper Cover Myself?

I got a dent in the corner of my front bumper cover. I've gotten two estimates, both for around $600, which is less than my deductible. So I'm trying to see what my options are. I found a place online that'll sell me a new bumper cover painted, cleared and shipped for $460, so I'm considering doing that. Nobody seems to sell aftermarket or refurb bumper covers.

Has anyone ever removed or replaced their bumper cover? How hard is it? Anything I need to know? (I'm relatively mechanically inclined and have basic tools.)

Is the procedure in the shop manual that's downloadable from TIS?

Are there any single-use fasteners/clips that I'd need to replace or other parts I might need? (The aluminum bumper itself is OK... only damage is to the plastic bumper cover.)


Also... is there any alternative to paying full retail at the dealership for parts? There really doesn't seem to be much of an aftermarket for the prius yet. Do the dealer parts depts ever offer discounts? I used to get the "high mileage" discount on my Volvo, but the Prius isn't quite to 300,000 yet.
