[96_4.6]

I need to take my damn bumper covers off to have them repainted but cant get them off. I've done so much stuff to my car but this is frickin hard. I some how got those two stupid screws off on the top when you open the hood but on the side of the bumper cover alittle past the wheel well is this bracket with two screws on it but there not screws!!! how the hell am i supposed to get it off i pryed the hell out of one and still couldnt get it off i'm in hell i was so pissed off that cant do this. Then the directions say there are these 2 taps under the headlights i have to pry off to get it off but i couldnt find them or maybe i did but couldnt get them off anyway, damn it damn it i have so many cuts on my hand ****
