Default removing front bumper

alright so i tried to use the search toolbar to find out how to remove the front bumper, and albeit i havent actually look at it on the car to try and see i was just trying to get a feel for it before i try and start taking it off etc as i am planning on doing a few mods in the near future that would require me to take it off (snub mount, hid conversion, and replacing the fog lights)

if anybody had any links or know how to take it off that would be great. Also is there anything i need to disconnect or be careful of when removing it?

thanks a bunch

Not sure about the snub mount. But for the lights you dont need to remove the bumper.

ocadam, i know that you do have to take of the front bumper in order to change the foglights unless you have small enough hands to fit back there and do it that way, which i dont unfortunately

I could have posted how to remove the bumper but its only the fog lights that are the problem so the bumper doesn't need to come off
