Default How to remove front bumper cover?

Can anyone give a short description on how to remove the front bumper cover? It is attached fairly securely and I can't find any more bolts/screws/clips to remove.

I'm switching mine out to another stock one that already has Armourfend installed on it.

Thanks!

Default Re: How to remove front bumper cover?

remove the 2 bolts from underneath the cover (by the fog light grills).
remove the 3 (?) screws from the wheel liner
push back (towards the rear of the car) on the drivers side bumper
pull the corner of the bumper closest to the wheel outwards and pull like hell

it will just snap out, but you really have to pull at it.

try <a href="http://www.audizine.com/tech/howto/efk/index.asp">this</a> link if you need more info

"2 bolts, 6 screws, then yank" worked like a charm! Thanks!

Default the first time I removed mine...

i was on the phone with a friend and he was telling me what to do. I kept pulling hard at the bumper (or so I thought) but it wouldn't come out. It wasn't until I got pissed and then pulled REALLY hard that it came out
