Once you have all the screws out of the bumper cover, you just have to pull it off. There are tabs so you have to be a bit forceful (but obviously still careful) about it. We started at the wheel wells and popped it out there first, then just slowly pulled it away as we unplugged whatever was still connected. Then, you have to tackle the task of getting the grille trim piece out from the bumper. This is also connected with tabs. The way that worked for me was using a flat head screwdriver to pry them out from the backside of the bumper cover. Just gotta be careful not to scratch anything. Post some pics when you're done!
The lower valance is going to be another pain. Those tabs are evil, there is just no give to them. My thumbs were in some pain after pulling the grill off so I had to give up for the night. Ill have to try again tonight on the lower valance with a helper.

For you guys that had problems with the saleen clips did you get these style clips...they worked perfect for me. just slid right on and hold tight
I also got a single plastic push pin style screw with the clips that im not sure where it goes. I got everything installed but its pretty dark in the garage. I appologize for the crappy photo. Ill get a better one out in the sun later this week.
BTW do you guys notice a gap between the bumper and the bottom of the grill (at the center)? Mine doesnt sit flush...just wondering if this is normal.

Question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
So I have a V6, MCA edition. Totally different bumper. But from the looks of it, the same fog lights.
Would I just need a GT bumper and the GT/CS Valance. My wiring and fogs should snap in.
Can anyone confirm this ?

My Saleen Grille did not come with any clips. I drilled a small hole in the tab that slides into the bumper cover, and then used some wire ties to secure it. It works great and you can't see them.
