Dark 5.0 is right, WAY easier to take off the whole front clip. Fenders bolt to the frame in the door jambs (mark where these are before you unbolt them for reassembly line up), there's a brace in front of the wheels, unplug the wiring harnesses for the headlight/parking lights. It's been a while since I've done it, but I BELIEVE the front facia is bolted on to the header panel, and possibly a couple rivets. There are also a few small bolts on the bottom side of the nose. Take all that stuff loose, and then see what's still holding you up. Not a bad job at all, and reassembly is a breeze, almost nothing to line up!

The actual bumper stays on the car. Plastic rivets will come out, but you'll probably need to replace them. Check for a bunch of small bolts with big flat washers under the front too.
