1st step in a couple of DIY's I have being written up.
All you need is a 10mm socket and ratchet and a flat head screw driver.
Pop Hood and Remove front clips(7 clips)(By the Yellow Dots)

Remove Clips using flat head screw driver or other pry tool to pull up on center piece, then pull the whole clip out.

Remove Bottom bumper screws and bolts. 10mm socket and ratchet used.(by the yellow dots aproximately)
Sorry for the bad picture. I'll get a better one when I do my break in oil change.

Now bumper should be loose, on both wheel wells there are retaining nubs. Pull back on the bumper a little by the yellow dot and it should break free.

Now pull the bumper off, there are more retaining nubs under both head lights. There are no more screws or bolts. Just give it a gentle tug and it will come off.
If you have an SE Remove foglight bulbs, or just loosen the connector. It will be the last thing connected to the bumper.
