Frustrated---How do I remove the front Bumper???

I spent a couple hours trying to remove the front bumper without avail. let's see... 2 screws on the bottom... 2 clips behind the bottom signal lights...2 fender screws. and like 3 screws each for the headlights... there seemed to be 3 more screws under each headlight that had to be removed. I couldn't get to it unless i removed the headlights, and i couldn't remove the headlights until i got the bumper off!!! Please HELP!!! thanks!

Does the plastic screws just need prying off with a flat head screwdriver?

its easy

1) take out your bumper lenses
2) look inside and you will see one blot located on the top left that is i think a 14 mm, there is one on each side, then
3) there is another bolt next to that that is if you look where you took out the first bolt there is another bolt on the oppisite side of it, look through the lower gril on the very edge of the right or left side and take it out, they say there is 2 bolt but i found 4 total on mine.
4) look under the bumper and there is 2 clips
5) on each fender there is 1 skrew holding into the fender
6)it will dropp a little once the bolts are removed then lift up and pull the sucker off.

note: you do not need to remove the headlights off i can take pics of the bolt if you need them just pm me and ill go take it apart

hope this helps

thanks for the instructions dustbuster, VXCL, and 97Acura3.0CL. I will attempt to take it out again tomorrow. It sounds so damn easy, but it was pretty frustrating. i took out all the clips on the top and bottom. oh well... thanks guys!
