Default Removing the front bumper

Anyone have a walk-through on this? Is it easy to do or is it a pain?

Its easy.
-pop the tabs on the top of the bumper.
-remove the 2 or 3 tabs and 10mm bolt from the wheel wells.
-remove the 10mm bolts from underneath.
Edit: Hock found it..

church struggling - priceless.


it took me like 2 hrs to get the damn engine strut bar off...though that involved driving to canadian tire 3 times and trying to find the right socket -_- in the end I think i bought the entire lane of tools!
