Here's an excerpt from Andy_TN's write-up.
FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL:
1. Remove the plastic underpan
2. Remove two small grills on front bumper, just pull.
3. Disconnect the hose to the headlight washers by reaching through the hole where you removed the driver's side grill. (if you can't get it, then see step 6).
4. Remove the two long 6mm? hex bolts that point upward.
5. Now grab the side of the bumper, almost to the wheel well and pull BACK (yes, towards the rear of the car) and DOWN then UP. It may take a little finesse, but it's really not that hard. Have someone else hold the bumper while you do this so it doesn't come crashing down and scratch the paint. See Pic 2, notice how the two clips at the top and one at the bottom grab the bumper like a claw. So if you pull it down, and then up (or vise versa), then you should be able to work it loose.
6. If you haven't disconnected the hose for the headlight washers, you'll be able to do it much easier now, assuming you have someone to hold the bumper while you do it.
