theres 5 bolts holding that lip piece above your bumper, the outside 2 and theres one in the center and thers a bolt on the insides of each of the headlites, after that theres the screws to take the bumper off. if you run into problems lemme know.

but
there is still 1 bolt on the inside of each headlight
its really close to the radiator
,,u know,,its like by the tip of the light ,,towards the middle of the car
