what model/ year. On the D3 there are two hidden screws near the bottom edge inside and then four along the top. You just pull it off carefully because the bottom edge also has lock tabs...not accessible

Remove lower engine cover, both front wheels and wheel well front liners (this is the PITA step). Then three nuts on each side of the front fascia on the sides below the headlights. Then remove the bolts on the top edge with the hood open. Lift & pull. Disconnect wiring & hose for hadlight wash-O-Matic.

Please post a picture when it's done. It's really questionable on whether it will look professional/cheap, its a fine line. Please prove us wrong!
