how do you take the front bumper off?

I am trying to mount my front license plate and it seems i have to take my front bumper off to mount the bracket. But i have no clues as to how to take it off. Anyone in here know how to make matters worse i find out that someone went in my garage and stole my tool box. Geez I am trying to forget about it but I hate and i mean HATE people who have no regard for other peoples property. But anyways if anyones knows where i can get any info on this it would be very much appreciated. Thanks

uh...for the bracket? u just drill the holes from outside..or just bring it to the dealer and they'll do it for u.
you don't wanna take off the front bumper to install your license plate(heck, i don't even have them on most times)...it's a pain to take it off and even more pain to get it back on..

i already drilled holes from the outside and the bracket came with screws but i cant get the nuts on the screws from underneath since there is a huge metal things in the way. If I put on the screws without the nuts it will probably fall off while i am driving. Your right, I don't want to take the bumper off and since you mention that putting it back on is even tougher, i definetly don't want to take it off. I'm lost on what to do. thanks for the reply.

I'll check out the dealer then but I doubt they will do it for free since i bought my car used from another dealership, which wasn't a nissan dealership. BTW where did you get your dash kit for your head unit. i bought one from The GoodGuys and it didn't fit. there computer said that it would fit but there are not for maximas and there where no instructions on how to make them fit for maximas. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
