Default HOw do I take off my bumper????

How do I go about taking off my front bumper? I have a 1998 Honda Civ coupe.
If anyone remembers... or wants to make a explanation with picture that would be amazingly awesome. Thanks

one screw on each side behind the fender at the point where your bumper meets the fender...then about 8 clips when you open the hood...simple

dont scratch your paint...when you take out the screws where the fender meets the bumper, you will need to turn your wheel to the inside so that you can reach it

Your talking about just the bumper right, and not the support brace behind the bumper right? Because if your just talking about the bumper then just put your fingers on the edge of the bumper and go along the lines, and each screw/bolt/clip you find just undo it and it will come off. And for precaution start from the bottom and work your way to the top so the bumper doesnt fall on you.

lol its not rocket science.. you take off all of the bolts (there are some when you open your hood and some connected to your fender along with some putty that can be detached using a knife).. how complex do you think it is?

yes it is very possible, they are simply plastic. Mine are stripped because I believe that they never were touched since back in '93 when the thing was made, car cancer got to them. But I don't sweat it, just use vice grips on 'em.
