Unhappy Front bumper removal please help !!!!!!!

Hello community i have a 93 sc 300 and i want to remove my front bumper but i am not sure where to start. I don't know what i need or take off in order to start .

from memory...

-there are a few screws under the weather stripping where hood meets front frame support.
-there are clips that hold support bars on the front openings of the bumper (look up from the front - 3 bars, center, and 2 sides)
-2 nuts behind the each fender liner holding bumper to front side panel
-unclip fog lights
-don't remember if u have to remove headlight for it but if so, 1 nut behind fender liner

i may have missed some but that should get u started.

wow..i just took my front bumper off..

2 screws behind the bumper close to each corner light, 3 clips under each headlight, screws under the weather stripping, and several small clips from under the bumper, plus the screws from the very bottom of the bumper that connect to the splash guard..

wish i would have seen this before, i would have taken pics for you..let me know if you need them, and i will take pics with the bumper off and highlight the areas

put a small flat head under the clip section and put some tension on it, then turn the screw part..if all else fails, rip them out with pliers and get new ones later.
