ya, there are only like 6 screws holding them on, 4 on the outside bumper shock mounts and 2 for the inside shock mount. Shouldn't be too hard to find, just take a flash light and look in the crack between bumber and car and find the 2 shocks that hold each bumper on.

Look underneath the front bumper.. youll need a 14mm socket to removed the 2 bolts that are holding the bumper onto the bumper shocks.. then unclip the turn signal wires. Use needle nose pliers to remove those black plastic pop screws by carefully pinching them and pushing them thru..that way they can be reused when putting the bumper skin back on
