Default Taking off front bumper

Hey guys I just got my front lip in. Soon going to get it painted and installed. But to do it I heard you have to take off front bumper to properly get it done? If so its only 5 screws under the hood to take off front bumper? Sorry simple thing but I rather form it here and make sure and even any tips/suggestions thanks

If you have access to a lift you won't even have to remove the bumper.

I put mine on without a lift or removing the bumper.

It's up to you, but if you've got no lip, it's much easier to pull the bumper off when you're pulling in new screws and such.

You have the five under the hood, two screws securing hooks on the inner edges of the head lights. Tere's a line of speed nuts/bolts under the bumper, and one screw in each wheel well. Then be careful getting the hooks around the headlights to come off, and you're golden.

Thank you very much this is the answer I'm looking for. Now just have to wait to get it painted and put on.

Thank you very much again, this will help for my front lip and grille I need to replace. When I bought my S the top half of grille is missing some how. But bottom part is still on.
