To remove the bumper there are screws at the ends where the bumper meets the edge of the fender. Once you remove those, slide the small latch like plate to get it to release. Remove the bumper screws at the headlights and also the ones right below the center radiator palstic mesh thing. Don't forget to also remove the screws from the bottom plastic cover below the engine and unplug the foglights. Quick tip, place blue masking tape and the edges of the fender and the edges of the bumper where they meet. This will help you avoid scratching the fenders or bumper upon reassembly. It's not that difficult just time consuming. Good luck!
