2 - 10mm bolts hold front fascia to each fender; access them through headlight opening
3 - 7mm screws in EACH wheelwell (in front of tire) attach front fascia to the inner wheelhouse
2 -10mm bolts at each edge of top of front fascia - kind of exactly where the hood gap is w/ the fascia when the hood is closed; also 4 push pin things there that need to be removed
5 - 7mm screws in middle of UNDERSIDE of fascia; these attach the fascia to the radiator shroud
misc 7mm bolts attach the fascia to the spoiler
remove all these bolts/screws and the fascia should pull off - should be able to do it in an hour or less

94legaleagle has it right. Its not a horrible job but its made easier if you have those little combination metric gear wrenches and a good set of metric sockets. I left my tires on and used the gear wrenches on the 7mm bolts.
