Are you talking front bumper cover?

There are several small nuts along the top near the headlights/bumper line. I had to open the lights and take off the black cover to get to them all. I also needed lots of small 1/4'' extensions, u joints, etc cause its tight in there.

There are a bunch underneath, and have you taken off the front license plate bracket? I know there were a couple behind it on the back bumper, but I don't remember on the front.

I just know we had a heck of a time getting mine off!

And don't worry, we broke most of the small bolts, too. So be ready for that!
