To remove the front bumper cover, remove all the push pin retainers at the top and bottom. Next you will need to remove the inner forward plastic splash guards at each fender. Retainers are a combination of trim push clips and bolts. At the front bottom of the bumper skin you will see 3 - 4 bolts on each side. They must be removed to unfasten the front of each splash guard to each fender. Once inner splash guards are removed you will be able to access the 3 bolts holding the bumper cover on each side to each front fender. After that it is all downhill. Once bumper cover is removed you will see the plastic reinforced impact bumper. And from there make any further assessment as to damage and what will need to be replaced. The other area if interest will be the radiator support and condition of the radiator and A/C condensor. All I can say is good luck!
