Really? I had no issues at all with mine. You just need to know how to pull it correctly once all the fasteners are out, and not be afraid of breaking it because it can be tough at first.

Yea, it took a lot of force. lol All the fastners were out too. I think I was just scared to pull it too hard and snap something but I got it out eventually. lol

I did this last night to install the blacked out Canadian head lights I bought.
There are 2 screws at the top of the grill, two 10mm bolt under the bumper (behind the black plastic air deflector), and you have to remove 3 or 4 fender liner screw thingys on each side just in front of the wheels in order to get to 2 screws just inside the liners (at about the height of the bottom of the headlights) on both sides. And then there are two more screws (1 each side) underneath the bumper just forward of the wheels to remove. So it's like 16 screws or bolts or fender liner holders that you need to remove in order to get the front bumper off. Once they're removed you should be able to gently finagle the bumper off with out any problem.
Here's an edited list of where I believe all the screws and bolts need to be removed from (scroll down). Sorry if I missed any.

What time are you guys planning to arrive? I'm not sure if I'm coming but I'll try to make an appearance. If the weather is nice I have some outdoor things I need to finish up before the weather gets cold. My Dad's stereo install is about 85% done and I just need one more nice day to install the new midgate and finish running wires. If the weather is lousy then I'll probably stop by and hang out with you guys for a while. Amanda will probably tag along too.

Thanks for the tip about the local 5.0 Mark.
I plan on leaving the house between 3 and 3:30am to put me in right around 9am.
Score!! I went to Walmart at lunch to pick up paper towels and other goodies and came across Krylon Fusion in Black Satin....only the 10th or so store I have tried!! $3.97 for a 12oz. can. Says no prep needed (plan on doing some anyway), anyone have ane experience with this? Just wondering how well it actually works. 15 minute dry time and 1 hour handle time FTW.

Havn't used Black Satin but I've used the Krylon Fusion on quite a bit of things, including the interior of my project truck. I love it and it's true, no real prep needed. Just make sure you have a clean surface! Hope this helps!
