replacing front bumper and passenger side fender - need assistance

I haven't tackled the job yet, but I was planning on grabbing a case of beer and tackling this job myself over the weekend. From what I've heard replacing these parts are pretty easy, but since I don't have much time at all under the hood I figured it would be best to ask for some help before I end up swearing at a pile of parts and plastric while making my neighbors wonder.

If anyone has a "how to" vid that would help, but basic advice on what to take off/unscrew/unclip and when would certainly suffice I think. I'm just wondering if there is one thing particularly that needs to be done before the other or anything I should avoid doing.

Also, I've heard that I would need to take out the headlights to replace the bumber, I was wondering if that's true as well for only the cover? i'm not sure yet if I need to replace the bumper itself at this time so I might just replace the cover.

Thanks in advaance - any advice at all is appreciated.

Recently, someone on the forums asked me to help them remove the front bumper and I typed up a guide with pics. PM me your email address and I can send it to you. You don't have to remove the headlights to remove the front bumper cover.
