Front Bumper Removal

[jak167]

Can someone provide tips RE removing the front bumper? I have to replace a foglight (rock busted it). I looked at it today and it seems like there are four hexhead bolts up top, four torx screws on the bottom. Anything else? I don't want to disable half the car while experimenting.

If noone else responds to this, I just wanna say that you should just start taking off bolts until it comes off, you wont dismantle the car or anything. I'm sure you'll be fine, and feel very rewarded when your all done

You need to remove the headlights, there are two pull up tabs on each one and the entire unit comes out.

Then you need to remove the fender flares. There is a phillips screw behind the headlight and one in the wheel well and a 4 plastic retainers in the wheel well. Then the rest of the flare just snap off.

There is a bolt under the fender flare on each side that you need to remove to release the bumper.

Then remove the 6 hex screws (2 are under the headlamp) on top and the 4 torx on bottom and two phillips on each side just down below the fog lights.
