Default Removing front bumper

I have watched several videos on how to remove the front bumper of a 2001 honda civic. They all have the four plastic caps to remove on the middle area but mine has four bolts. I tried using a socket wrench but it doesn't twist off, it just keeps spinning. It also seems quite difficult to hold the bottom part of the bolt with another wrench since it's behind the bumper. Any tips?

Whoever put those bolts in there did you no favors. Those aren't factory at all. You may be able to just pry up on them, and have them pop out, because the factory option is just pop clips.

Thanks. Would these clips do the trick?

They might... however the clips are a specific size, and I'd have to measure mine.

I see. Well if you don't mind taking the time to measure it and letting me know it would be much appreciated
