This is for a 2002, pretty sure it's the same for your model year.

1. Jack the front end and remove both wheels.
2. Remove screws and peel the wheel well liner and you'll find the 3 nuts that retain the bumper on both sides, remove them.
3. Unclip the lower plastic part from the fender.
4. Remove the corner grills from the lower bumper and locate the 2 bolts (I think they are 6mm hex, not sure though), loosen them up, you'll be turning them for a long time.
5. Pull bumper off but be careful because you need to unplug the head light washer line and harness to the bumper.

Here are a few pics.

The bolt you will see after removing the corner grills (pic and diagram)

Circled in red is the headlight washer fluid line, circled in green is the harness to the bumper (fog lights, etc..)

The Awe FMIC requires very minimal trimming at the bottom of the bumper, the installation was very straight forward. You also need to trim the back of the corner grills. For my summer setup, I completely opened the front grills to show the FMIC because I spent like 20hrs removing the cast marks and polishing it.
This is what I started with:



After many hours of work:



After installation and grill trimming:
