Anyone have any instructions on how to remove the bumper cover? I've found a buncha screws here and there but, haven't actually spent time in locating them all. I'm gonna remove it within the next week and just want to know what to look for beforehand.

This also may be a good sticky too, moderators.

1st.

Open up the hood and remove the plastic clamps from the grill

Get under the car and remove the clamps that attach the bumper to undercarriage.

2nd.

Remove the 2 screws that attach the wheel well to the frame

3rd.

There will be 2 nuts that attach the bumper to the car(you have to open up the well...and just run your hand along the side of the bumper) I believe they're a 14 or 15??

Ive found that the easiest way is to do this is:

1. Get a stong peice of chain
2. Open hood.
3. Wrap it down through the engine bay and tie it together
4. Wrap the other end around a solid poll of some sort
5. Put in reverse
6. Slam on the gas real hard.
Now its off. The good thing about doing it this way is that its really easy. It also, in most cases removes the whole front end. Not just the bumper cover. Which gives you good access to the engine.

Let me know if you need any other help
