Default Search does not seem to work---!front bumper....

I need to get some tips for removing the front fascia. There seem to be 2 bolts on each side in front of the tires that I can't get to. What can I use to get these loose; and then will the fascia just pull off? Or is there a specific procedure?
Also, will removing the bumper support/foam cause aerodynamic problems?

there are 3 nuts/studs in front of the tires on each side. you need alot of patience and maybe some extensions to help out. when you get them out pull down on the bumper to clear the studs that you just removed then pull away from the car.
just make sure you disconnect the foglights.

as for the aero issues, i think you'll be ok since alot of people already removed theirs. just make sure to put back that top plastic brace that's right in front of the hood latch.

Thanks 1dirtyZ I only saw 2 on each side. I will make sure I look harder this time. I don't plan to remove anything in front of the hood latch mechanism. The front fascia itself is just held on top by the 3 push pins. Might be different once I start removing the bumper.
Thanks again <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> .
