pulled it off one of my threads in the fabrication section

Quote:
Open hood

Remove your grill - 4 T20 torx across the top, lean it forward and lay your grill somewhere safe

Unbolt the 2 10mm bolts under your fascia at the airdam

Press in the red retainer on your light harness plug, use your thumb nail to pull the red clip down till it stops, press down the hinge clip and wiggle the plug till it separates

use a thin screw driver to leverage out the 7 reuseable push-pin type rivets [1 to the bottom edge of each headlight, 5 across the grill backbone supports] - put them somewhere safe
It may help if you have something similar to snap ring pliers to leverage the pins out of the inserts

There's either 2 or 3 rivets through the fender flares and wheel well plastic that interfere, you can either drill them out, or cut the heads off with a pair of wire cutters - I used a brake spring tool to grab and squeeze in the stupid plastic wedge retainer pieces that are serrated to get the clips out of the fender

Wiggle the fascia around and loosen it up, lift it up and pull the bottom out, adjust the flares so that the bottom most edge is now behind and under the fascia, check to make sure you don't have a 2nd lighting harness plug (i didn't have a 2nd) - gently lift up on the tabs where the bumper hooks in below the headlights and get it unhooked, it just takes some monkeying around - put the fascia somewhere safe like out in the grass or something


it's very straight forward, let us know if ya have any questions

there's a link to a picture by picture how-to somewhere but no idea where it could have gone
