What are you removing-just the cover itself??? Just did mine yesterday. There are four screws in each grille, four for the center license plate bracket, about six on the lower valance panel, and twelve or fourteen on the outer perimeter of the "cover" itself. It's pretty simple. The main problem you'll run into is if your car is rusty underneath you'll snap off those retaining studs, but they are available and you can get new ones.

I would like pictures of all the rienforcment brackets and the entire front nose peice assembly. I already ghot the cover off. I want to see the brackets because some of mine are bent and bolt holes do not line up.
