Materials:
Socket wrench and metric socket set with extension bar(s).
Philips head screwdriver(s).
1. Open the hood, and remove the negative battery terminal from the battery, but if you have a stock stereo, remember to note the radio code!! Over the top edge of the bumper (covered by the hood) you will see several black, flat Philips type screws with rubber gaskets. Remove those. There will be a black metal retainer that comes off after all are removed.
2. Then, get under the car. There will be 10 mm bolts (2) that need to be removed with the socket wrench.
3. Here is the interesting part. There are hidden Philips head screws (2) connecting the sides of the bumper to the front quarter panels (one on each side). Remove the front part of the plastic wheel arch cover (3 screws). Reach inside the quarter panel to where the screw is, and using a small Philips head screwdriver, remove the screw. Be careful at this point and ensure that the bumper is supported so it does not hit the ground and get damaged.
Complete. Estimated time: 20 min.
