To remove the front bumper cover I know I need to take out the snap-on bolts, but will I need a tool for this? If so which type of tool?

you need to pop the little center up, there is a tool that looks like mickey mouse's head
you can use a flathead screw driver

Side cutters work good for the push style rivets like others said. I like the push pin tool for the ones that are shaped like a Christmas tree, these can be annoying at times. There's also 8 10mm headed bolts on the bottom of the front bumper cover. Watch out for dirt packed in the threads of the j-clips that the bolts go into. If they get tight after a couple of turns tighten them up again, then loosen. Ironically I'm doing the same thing along with the rear, hood, and left quarter. I couldn't take the scratches and chips any longer.

Another tool that works well is a trim panel remover, and it doesnt reck the clips

I ended up buying and using the panel remover, it worked great.
