Front bumper cover removal

I have a 88 Iroc and I am trying to take off the front bumper cover to install a new header panel (headlight mount) but I just can't figure out how to get it off. If anyone could break it down for me I would appreciate it.

1988 Iroc-z 350 TPI, T-Tops, 9 bolt disc brake rearend, in need of serious restoration

Re: Front bumper cover removal

3 bolts on wither side that attach the GFX to either fender, 6 or 8 bumper clips underneath in which you pull out the center(moast people just seem to break them though) 2 nuts on the hood latch bracket that join it to the headlight bar, and by the headlights, and finaly four bolts on both side inside the fender which join the edges of the fender and bumper cover.

You don't need to remove the bumper cover to replace the panel, if you loosen it at the top you can slip the old one out and pop the new one in.
