Removal of front bumper cover
I have searched, but can't find what I am looking for.
Is there a procedure for removal of the front bumper cover?
Thanks!

Yeah, remove all the fasteners and slide it towards the front.
In all seriousness, it's pretty easy and self explanatory. The only thing that's different than other bumper covers is the eight inch long clip that just slides towards the back on each side. Remove the wheels and the plastic inner fenders and you'll see what I'm talking about, it's what holds the bumper cover to the fender on each side.

Yeah I won't lie. I have been involved with auto body my entire life and cursed my *** off trying to get those clips right on the reinstall, and others on here said it Just popped back in place for them! It's not that they wouldn't go back on, but the front part by the corner of the light kept having a small gap and it drove me crazy. It's still not perfect but I was done messing with it.

OK, so remove the fender liners and undo those clips.
I see a bolt between the lights and one on the inside of the fog light.
Are there any others I am not seeing like have to be accessed from underneath?

Just all the ones attatching the bumper to the underside trays. Did you remove the trays? After all the fasteners are off, there are tabs that push into a slot underneath the headlights. You have to pop those out of the slot and slide the bumper forward.
