Default How do I remove 5th Gen Bumpers?

Hi, i'm trying to do many installs on the front and rear of my car, but i'm having a real hard time taking off the front and rear bumpers. Does anyne know where all the screws/bolts are... have a diagram or anything that would help?
As well, I have very stubborn screws holding the front bumper that are located on either side accessable from the wheelwells....no matter which direction i go they just turn in place!!!! how do i remove something like that?
Any help would be much appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Take your turn signal/sidemarker bulbs out
take your grill off
there are 4 clips underneath, unclip those
underneath the car there is 4, 10 milimeter bolts that hold the plastic scrape protecor thing to the car, take those off
in the driver and passanger wheel well's there is a screw right on the edge where the bumper meets the fender, take that off
again in the wheels wells there is a screw on the bottom of the bumper that go into the wheel wells, take those off
There is also clips on the side of the bumper right by the fender that the bumper hangs onto youll have to pull toward yourself to pull the bumper out.
I think thats it, when I did it I also removed one bold on the bottom of the bumper next to the screw on the edge.

Hey Mike, thanks for your help! I got all the srews holding the front bumper but the ones at the egdes b the wheels are still not coming out. Is anything holding the bumper underneath the headlights?
Did you remove your rear bumper as well? I'm finding the rear bumber even more challenging. Also, do you know how to remove the headlights? Thanks again!

There are like U clips below the fender and below the headlight so you'll have to just jank it off, be sure you have all your screws out.
