Remove the pop pins on the top of the bumper, remove the headlight covers and shroud and while the lights are up reach in and remove the nuts that attach to a 2 bolt plate that holds the front bumper and front fender together. After this remove the front air dam and then remove the rest of the lower screws and walla ..its off.

PM me if you need help

You don't need to take off the headlight covers. You can get to the two nuts that hold the bumper to the fender by removing a part of the plastic wheel lining.

You will also need to take off the license plate cover because there are two plastic fastners that hold the bumper to the bumper cushion/support.

i found its easier to access the 2 bolt plate from the bottom after all the lower access panels and air dam has been removed. also make sure to disconnect your wiring harnesses for the corner lights.
