Can anyone with some experience in removing the front bumper cover possibly make a little how-to guide on how the process goes?

I hit a deer about a year ago and thought i got out with no damage, but i appear to have broken some of my radiator shroud as there are pieces of plastic stuck in the front bumper behind the front grill!
 
It's not too bad. You need to remove the screws along the bottom, about 6 or 8, I think. Remove the lower plastic rivet under each wheel well. Lift the hood and remove the screws that hold in the front corners of the headlights. You may also have to mess with some tiny plastic screws on the top in the front, as well. At this point the bumper just unsnaps from each side where it meets up with the fender.
 
Yes really easy and quite logical for removal. No hidden parts. There are two bolts behind the fender liner.
