It isn't too bad, I recommend taking out the headlights first. There are 3 nuts that hold the sides of the bumper cover to the front fender on each side. One bolt on the front of the fender going forward into the bumper cover on each side, 5 "pushpins" on top of the bumper cover holding it to the support, 3 "pushpins" underneath holding it to the center. Then you just have the bolts underneath hold the splash-guards to the bumper cover. IIRC that is all of the connection points. Taking the headlights out makes it WAYY easier to get the forward facing bolts from the fender into the bumper cover out.
