Angry I need to remove my front bumper.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the front bumper.
I'm gonna need a step-by-step process on removing the front bumper.

1) Underneath the bumper are 4 tabs that have to be flicked out with a flathead screwdriver. These are impossibly hard to remove without breaking them (Acura should've just used screws like on most other cars)

2) In front of the tire there is a 10 mm bolt on each side that must be removed

3) In the tire well there is a screw on each side that must be removed

4) There are 4 more of the annoying tabs on top of the grill that must be removed then take off any other tabs remaining on top, I forget how many

5) Pull bumper out and down

Tab clips are easy to remove if you know how. People will insert a flat head screw driver and then attempt to pry it out straight out, this will lead to the clip breaking. Stick the flap head screw driver in, then roll it left or right. It will pop out the tab and then you can pull it out by hand.

It should be easy, I saw someone do it once and then I was able to do it all the other times with ease.
