Default Removing the Front Bumper

I want to remove the front bumper assembly to get it repainted.

What exactly do I need to do? Is there a step by step set of destructions on how to take it off?

Things like, do I have to remove the hood to get it off...I know that I will have to unplug the headlights and the side markers. More than likely, I may even find it easier to pull the headlight assemblies out before pulling the bumper.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

MC

It is really easy. Took me about 30 minutes. Do a search for adding the front splitter and bumper removal. The person that wrote the post took lots of pictures. Use the painters tape on the hood and bumpers or you will scratch the paint!
