Good stuff there!
To add to it -
- There are 2 Phillips head screws at the very outside lip of the bumper. Yours may not have had them, they could be missing from a previous owner.
- You do have to unbolt the belly pan as well from the front bumper, but you don't have to remove it.
- 1/4" drive tools are your friend here. With an extension and a universal joint, and a deep well 10mm socket. That makes taking those 10mm nuts off the sides a snap.
Just take your time doing it, especially since you're dealing with a painted surface. Put the nose somewhere safe if you're doing other work, you don't want junk hitting it or sparks flying onto it.
Good stuff as always!

I went through this last week. After you know where the 3 hidden nuts are it's fairly easy. Getting it back on is going to be the interesting part.
Any HOW-TO's for the fenders?
