Default Envoy Bumper on 2000 GMC Jimmy SLT

Hi, I want to replace my 2000 GMC Jimmy SLT's bumper with a bumper from a 1998-2000 GMC Jimmy Envoy. I will also want to put in foglights in the factory holes and put in a grille (this one: http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/TRX25377.htm). I believe that means I'll have to remove the front tow hooks. But anyways, I'm trying to ask how much work would it take to remove a bumper from a Envoy and put it on the Jimmy? Thanks!

Take your one off. Put the new one on. That's how much work lol.
Are you replacing the whole front end, or just the bumper? The Envoy's were the same as the Jimmy's back then, so everything should bolt up almost perfectly. You might have some minor issues with getting everything to line up, but it should be easy.

See how close they were to Jimmys:

You should get the Envoy HID headlights, too.

It should bolt right on. Literally it would be just removing the old bumper and putting the new one on. Probably only 10-20min worth of work. The wiring of the fog lights is what would be time consuming.

Wow that looks great i think I'm going to do this later on. What about the tow hooks do those just come right off?
