Front bumper cover removal

Ok I have a problem. I want to remove my front bumper cover and believe it or not I can't find anything on how to do it! FSM, Alldatadiy, Chilton's, nothing. The FSM has a nice picture but no directions. Got any advice or ideas?? I know someone here has taken the cover off, so fess up and tell a brother how-to.

Thanks!!

ok well the first thing is to take out the grill. it mounts to the headlight brackets. its pretty easy to break, so just be carefull. there are about 6 to 8 bolts that go across the top of the bumper cover. there are either 3 or 4 bolts in the inner wheel wells. you have to move some of the plastic pieces under the car and i think that there was someting up with the inner wheel wells. its really simple just take a real good look at it and be careful not to break anything.
if you are looking for a brand new cover, www.certifit.com has pretty good ones. they have 2 wherehouses in NC

And unless you want to go through the trouble of taking off the entire inner fender linings, have fun cutting up your arms squeezing them in there
