Thats it, they are very small nuts on the sides too. Like 8mm I think and kinda tough to get at. Be very careful when pulling the bumper off as the screws stick out an inch or two -you could easily scratch a fender.

You have to remove the fender liner to get the bolts on the side out. It's pretty obvious when you get in there.
It's pretty easy to remove, all things considered.

...you will need a long extension for socket once you actually get to the bumper studs. You will also need to have your headlights in the "on" position...use the red dial to manually lift it.
It's a pretty straight-forward removal of bumper. FIrst time, I can see it taking an hour or so but 2nd time, I say about 20 minutes and it's off.
Good luck!

don't need to remove the fender. just fold out the black plastic fender liner enough so you can reach long extended 10mm socket forward to unbolt the nuts behind the bumper.
don't forget there's 1 on each side that you can only reach from taking off the black plastic headlight cover when its raised.

3 10MM bolts each side plus the 1 bolt each side that could only be reached when you take the black plastic headlight shroud off and have the headlights in the "on" position?
Just wanna make sure because i finally got my 99 bumper painted and i may be attacking this job this weekend if the weather is decent.
Thanks.

So 8 bolts in total?
