this is the one i am having problem.... car never lowered and i did look at taking out the lower bumper but still cant get it off after removing few screws...

 

Do some searches on front cover removal, you must be missing some, because once the two by the front wheel arches are removed, the lower ones under the car that hold the lower lip on, the two on top plus the little tabs that snap it in place along the front by the radiators, it just about falls off. Just make sure you unhook the lights and the temp sensor. There are many articles on this so re-read them and make sure all the screws are undone.

i finally managed ot put the front splitter... what ya think?

my pics are in my gallery...it does not allow me to post same pics. anyone know why?

 

Just curious, what was the hang-up on getting the bumper cover off. It looks good! Hope it's what you hoped for.
