Default removing front bumper

I'm in the process of removing my front bumper, I removed all the top bolts, the 2 in the wheel well and the bolts on the bottom of the bumper, but I still have a hard time sliding the bumper off the car... it seems stuck on the sides... I gave it a fairly hard pull, but still no luck... any ideas?

well if you got those then pull really hard, there are 4 parts where the bumper slides and locks in without any bolts or screws.

i always try to pull one side out away from the car's sides to clear the splash guards, and then i'll pull forward to get it off. then the other side just falls off easily.
