how to get front bumper off? need some help

hey guys i am taking my front bumper off to mount my FMIC and i really have no clue where the rest of the bolts are to get the damn thing off. i took out the 5 bolts out that hold on the top of the bumper (where the hood meets the bumper) but no others.
it feels like the bumper is connected to the fender on both sides, but i cant find where the screws/bolts are that are holding them together... can someone give me some help?

It's been awhile, but take off the inner fender cover and you will be able to see the bolts that connect the fenders/bumper together.

Yep, grab a 10" 3/8's extension with the appropriate socket and wrench forward from inside the wheel wells. There is at least one, perhaps two below the light motor on each side also. Their all a PITA.

Dont forget to take off the lower lip as well. the stock ones do the the underside of the front bumper and extend a bit of the way onto the fenders.

there is only one bolt on either side near the lights. you can't get to it from the fender well. there are three bolts on either side of the car, inside the fender. you can get to those from the fender well.

and also the lip bolts. Do you have the FSM?
