RE: front bumper removal

Remove the 4 rivets in each wheel well to the bumper.
Then from underneath remove the 2 screws going straight up through the bumper and it will slide off.

You will need to get new ones.
Either you will need to drill them out or if they are the aluminum rivets with the plastic on them you can use wire cutters and cut them off.
