remove nose
I jsut did this last week to install a bitchin' Phoenix towing eye. Didn't know what I was doing but remembered from my Z28 days. Get a 7mm socket and an electric screwgun. raise and safely support front of car. undo all the 7 mm bolts youcan see at the trailing edge of the body color nose. then remove the lower black tray with I think 4 bolts. Oh, yeah, remove the 7 mms holding on the air dam side skirts. I left mine off awhile back due to my steep driveway.
After removeing the black things you can see up to thetop of the nose inside. there are 2 120mm nuts to remove on each side. Then go up top. You'll find I think three pop out plastic body fasteners. the centers pop up and then remove. Then there are three 10mm bolts to pull. then, go to passenger side, reach in over top of nose to find the wiring harness for the park lamps, unclick it and away you go. Once yo get started, it goes easier as you figure where all the fasteners are. Good luck with the screens if you have/ remove them. the two spring clips on top of the screen frames are little biotchays to replace!

There was a post with pics on this a while back, thought I had it saved but didn't. Take a look through the archives and you will find it. These type of directions should be put in the Tech Tip section for all to see
