4 nuts on inside of hood under plastic plugs.
take off bumper
bottom strip held on with 3 screws (i think 3) and push clips
grille peice held on with 8mm(i think) bolts
and its pretty much that simple.
check the garage for a diy on bumper removal,i believe there is one.

Yeah hate to critisize but take a look in bright sunlight. It looks to be uneven. You'll need more coats. The other problem with doing it with your own spraypaint is that it will easily chip away being that it's on the front end. It's always a good idea to have a bodyshop do this IMO. Mine came out like it was painted in the factory like that.
