Sitting inside the car turn your wheel to the left. Go to the right fender and pull the splash guard out from the bottom. You want to expose the inside right fender. If you look inside there are two phillips head screws which attach the bumper to the fender. You want to undo both and repeat on the other side.

Take your side markers out and remove the bulbs.

Next undo the clips on the splash guard on the bottom of the front bumper. Take a flat head screwdriver and use it as a wedge. When the male part comes out you can just pull it out with your fingers.

Then open the hood and look at the top part of the bumper. There are four clips. Take a flat head screwdriver and gently wedge the tab until it comes up. Pull it out.

I do believe that should be it. After taking your clips out of the hood you should be able to pull the bumper straight off. I would recommend having someone help you out. Hope this helps.
