If you take off the headlights, corner lights, fog lights, and splash guards from underneath, you should be able to see the access points of the bumper

but why are you shipping it off? wouldnt that cost MORE? also hope your planning to drive around while you dont have the front bumper... in most states its illegal since its a safety issue for the driver/passengers
Retired... its been fun Image

actually i dont think you have to remove the headlights...and eventhough its a safety hazard to drive w/o your bumper it really depends on how the cops are in your area. i drove like that for 2days and i was never pulled over for it. cops in my area really dont give a sh$t... just remove the corner lights and the grill and the plastic thing by the tire and youll see all the screws that you need in order to remove the bumper.
almost there...what do you think?

Pretty much you'll have to pull off your corner lamps to access two bolts on each side

then the 3 bolts that are on the Grille

remove your fog lamps and pull out the bulb

then finally remove the screws that attach to the plastic covers on the bottom of the car and the bumper should come off

I was going to take off the bumper myself to cut labor cost. And no I wasnt planning on driving the car while its off because I know the will get me for that. But now im thinking of just doing the 1.5 conversion while im at it but then there are the head lights and fogs + corners but I dont know.
