Default Removing 88 GT Hatchback Front Bumper Cover?

Just wondering if anyone has taken off the front bumper cover and what all is involved. If someone had some directions (with pics would be awesome) that would be great. Again this is an 88 GT Hatchback with Foglights installed. Thanks.

I took mine off but I didnt have the foglight assembly in there. Its very simple... just annoying. Just start taking off bolts and eventually you will get there. Take off all the bolts you can see and than try to take it off. When you try to take it off you will feel where its being held on at and than you can look for the bolt, find it, take it off and continue like that. I cant really give any directions because mine was junk so I was practically tearing it off with my hands lol. Its really not hard though, just a little time consuming. Remember, bag up all the nuts, bolts, screws, etc. It can get very annoying if you start mixing up all the bolts.

I'm not sure if they're exactly the same or not, but on my LX, there are 2 bolts on the top half (from inside the fenderwell) on each side and then 3 more on the lower half that are accessible from underneath. I think there are 2-3 across the middle by the radiator also. Hope that helps, it's been a while.....
