bumper removal

I am trying to figure out how to get my front bumper off...I have asked this question before but I had to repaint the bumper and cannot remember the responses...if I remove the corner lights there are two bolts on each side that need to be removed but after that does it come right off or are there more??

There are push pins on the bottom underneath the car, screws at the left and right edges that connect the bumper cover to the inner fenderwell and the fender, and two rivets/push pins in the center top underneath the hood.

If there are rivets underneath the hood, replace them with long push pins when you put the bumper cover back on. Rivets can be a pain in the butt sometimes.

you dont need to remove the corner lamps. just drill out the 2 top rivets, undo the splashield and remove 2 11mm nuts on the inside of the fender and i think theres a screw at the bottom corners on each side, then just pull it will feel like somethings still holding but its some hooks that hold on to the header panel .
