Are there instructions anywhere?
I want to try to plug up the holes the dealer made for my front license plate. I want to be able to get behind the bumper to plug them up.
Thanks.

First, remove the lower side grills. On your car this will include the fog lights and I don't know how hard that is. From those openings you can remove the two bolts that go up through the bumper mounts. They are 7mm (I think) allen bolts.
Now you have to pop the sides out of their clips. You push into the car from the front on the end of the bumper (right above where you removed the lower grill. The whole bumper will move inward. Then you pull down and out on the end of the panel within the wheel well.
I know that's not particularly clear. Where the bumper cover wraps around the side of the car will pop out to the sides and the whole bumper will come off to the front.
One more note. There's a big metal bar accross the inside of the bumper cover. I'm not sure you'll be able to get to the back of the front cover.
Good luck,
Rich
