Lets see-I've had mine off a few times, you need to remove the lower air spoilers- 10 mm bolts. Then the splash guards that go between the wheel houses and the front bumper. Then reach up above the brake cooling ducts and undo 2 10 mm bolts that connect to the fender braces. Then open the hood, undo the friction fits.

Oh yeah and under where the license plate goes there are 2 plastic screw things that look like giant dry-wall anchors you need to unscrew. Then the front just lifts off. Watch the wires for the turn signal, which is routed in the passenger side. Be careful scratching the cover with 2 10mm stud things that you undid when seperating the bumper from the fender.
