its a bit of pain in the butt if you dont have the right tools.. its do-able in a matter of minutes if you have the right tools

back from the dead...how did you guys take off those 2 ridiculous flat square headed screws in the top side of the "mouth" of the bumper? There were 2 plastic phillips screws which didn't give me issues, and 2 smooth flat metal things that turned out to be screws.

What kind of tool is used to take that off?

Post some pics bc i don't know what your talking about.

But the front bumper shouldn't be that hard to take off.

I eventually got them off:





there were 2 of these screwing the bumper into the bumper support behind it, 1 of them didn't want to come out at all. I ended up using PB blaster + vice grip, is there a "correct" way of getting these off?

It was at the big hole that lets air into the radiator area, the part that looks like the mouth of the car. There were 2 of these and 2 plastic screws going into the top part of that mouth.
