Anyone have a guide to removing the front bumper? Things to look out for and keep in mind.

It's fairly straightforward. Nothing special to watch out other than the usual like carelessly moving the detached bumper around and scratching other parts...
3 each side push pin at the bottom sides. 3 screws in bottom mid.
3 each in wheel well.
2 each next to fender.
1 each rather not easily detached terminal/socket for harness on both ends.
Oh almost forgot. I think 6 bolts at the top.
Once all done. Loosen the sides and pull the bumper.
Reattaching, you have to align the sides as well as the bottom plastics so that they're above the bottom engine cover. Also have to align bumper stay/foam.

I should have posted few images somewhere. I can look for tomorrow.
Seen a few videos as well. Check out SpeedIndustry's YouTube..

Thank you. What do you mean by sides and bottom plastics?

Just removed my bumper to do some mods. Mods went well, but Iā€™m having issues getting the bumper back on.

It feels like something in the center/nose of the bumper is getting caught and not allowing me to fully push the bumper back on.

I tried removing the crash bar foam and same thing, so I put it back.

Anyone experienced this? Any ideas?

It may be one of the Velcro pieces next to the headlight for they come loose (double sided taped to the headlight) creating the possible binding at the nose. See a photo below.

Iā€™ll double check that in the morning. The velcro was definitely there, but maybe part of it moved.

Iā€™m getting big gaps on the inside points of the headlights thatā€™s making it impossible for me to line up the rest of the bumper.

Top portion goes on great, though.
