Front bumper removal help

I drove too close and up onto one of those concrete parking blocks and when I backed off, it ripped the bumper about two inches up from the bottom. I can fix this but need some advice about how to get the bumper off the car. Anyone know how to do this?

Yeah, I'd like to know how to do this also... not that I ran over a concrete parking block... I need to replace a fog light....

Thanks

You don't have to take the bumper off to replace the foglight. Just remove the panel underneath the bumper, then you can gain access to the backside of the foglight, remove the 2 screws, and it comes out.

Very good! Thanks. I haven't gotten under there to check yet.

Thanks for your help.
