Default front bumper removal, air bag!

Will there be a problem with the air bag when I go and remove my stock bumper. Should I disconnect it before doing anything?? If so How do I do it.

Nope. Just take it off.

No, there are no airbag sensors in the bumper. Even if they were, you'd be fine. The 'sensors' are accelerometers, and will only set off the airbag under extreme acceleration / deceleration. They're buried where they're not easy to come across and do any harm to the system.
