removing front facia
Are there any tricks to removing the front facia? I removed all of the screws that I could see: the 4 or 5 on the edge of the fender well, the 4 on the bottom and the bolts and plastic gizmos on top.
I just want to make sure that I have everything out before I start the pull/cuss cycle.
Thanks,

There are two nuts inside each top/front corner that you have to access from the closeout panels areas underneath. There are two threaded studs that stick out of the fender at an angle toward the front of the car. The fascia has holes to fit over those studs and the nuts hold the fascia in place.

Front Facia Removal
Hi,
First, thanks for all of the info :-)
I think I can do it now.
I'm having to remove it because I have to replace the a gear in the headlight actuator and I can't get to the lowest mounting bolt on the headlight bracket without removing the intercooler. I also need to replace both air filters.
Thanks again,
Barry

when reinstalling,suggest appying duct tape on front edge of fenders to guard against scratches from side retainer studs on cover,,no build sheet in my rebar
