Default Front bumper removal?

For those of you that have taken it off..

1. how difficult was it?
2. how many fasteners or tapered screws are there?
3. location of them?

I want to take off the front bumper but i don't know where to begin. Thanks

I took off my bumper when installing my foglights. It's pretty easy. I found the DIY for clearing headlights a good general guide. Also has pictures.

You'll have to remove the fasteners that secure the grill first. Pop your hood, and there are four plastic fasteners. Remove those and the grill slides right out. Afterwards, there are 6 screws under the bumper, and two screws that you have to remove by pulling back the wheel well. One on each side.

If you got any other questions, post. I removed my bumper not too long ago, so it's pretty fresh in my head.

Ditto to Jeremy's remarks; I just threw in my foglights and pounded a dent out of my bumper, and the hardest part was getting some of the screws back in underneath the bumper, but other than that it wasn't too bad. Those instructions are an awesome help.
