Are you going to put on a body kit or something?

Anywho. If you want to take off the front bumper, you first need to take out the hard plastic protection for the spare tire. And don't forget to talke out the spare tire first. hehehe.....

There should be 5 bolts there. Unscrew them.

Disconnect the left and right signals.

Then there is 3 bolts on each side of the bumper right where the left and right fender meet the front bumper. It's a bitch to reach in there that should be all that you'll need to unscrew.

You'll need a size 12 socket and a size 12 deep socket for the 3 bolts on the sides

Have fun.....

I just took mine off today, with some help, and there were a lot more screws than that to remove.

There are some more screws right above where the foglights would go that have to be removed. They are plastics screws, so they strip really easy.

and few more I can't remember right now. It's quite a project to remove the bumper. Take your time, and be careful not to break anything.

They're small plastic screws, that barely hold a piece of the bumper on. If you pull hard enough on those, the bumper will rip away from them.

If you can get a flat head screwdriver in there, you can probably stretch the plastic bumper holes wide enough to fit right over the screws.

That's if the bumper is trash of course.

Be careful removing the plastic screws as they strip very easily.

Ohh right forgot about those. I had to break the screw and had to go get new ones from the dealer. There were old and all stripped. I had to get a plier.
