Take out the screws that go across the front over the grill area. Then on each side of the car, there are 5 or so nuts holding the fenders to the facia. Take those out, you'll have to get some from the top where the side marker lights are and you'll have to get underneath and go from the bottom. I think that's it. It's been a while since I had mine off.

just tie a chain to a tree and rap it around your radiator.... then back up really fast!

its the quickest way to take the front bumper off!

I assume you mean "front bumper cover removal." I took mine off a few years ago, I don't remember where all the screws are, but it's pretty easy to figure out.
