Default gutted bumper

Hey all, i want to gut the front bumper on my lx. It seems pretty simple, Can i just take a hammer and bash out the pieces of plastic or is there a more technical way to go about this? I've never looked behind my bumper so idk maybe it is all just one piece that unscrews, thanks for your help.

probably going to have to use a cutting instrument of some sorts.. hammers are bad when working on cars.. i always joke with my friends when they are working on something and yell "hit it with a hammer!!!!!" for everything... but definately not the best choice tool for working on the bumper

OT "<--- who dat be?" yeah.. who dat be?

nah man i can't do that, sphosting dosn't allow external links to files. That way ppl can't post a pic on one web server that is hosted off of sp, that way ppl don't steal their bandwidth.
