so the little metal tabs that hold the bumper in right below the rad cover, i cant get those to budge AT ALL

i tried using a flathead to pry it open, but it ends up just bending the tabs from the bumper, and not the tab thats holding the bumper

any advice?

metal tabs? Dude, you just pull the bumper out... Don't mess with those tabs. It won't hurt it. You're being too paranoid.

Not sure if you're doing this, but don't remove the bumper from the middle if that's what you're doing, start from the sides and work to the middle. It should come right out from there.

^^ like he said..remove screws and plastic clips then start from the sides. if i recall correct there shouldnt be more then 6-8 screws and plastic clips. there is a diy on here with video, it should be of much help.

hahaha are you kidding me dude ? it's easy as a piece of cake....what you do is to remove all the clips and screw first and start yanking ur bumper off ur car slowly...one side at the time and when you come to the middle part of the grill you will need a flat heat jam that head in there slowly push the tab up and wiggle ur bumper out...that's it. don't be so hard on it or else you'll break that tab on your bumper.
