also check the insides of your wheel wells. they may have screws in them, and if your replacing the quarter pannel you'll need that. they're usually pretty easy to find, if you look hard enough you shouldn't have too much trouble. :D

there should be like 4 or 5 bolts under the hood, at the top of the bumper. take off those and the retainer strip. then take off the bumper bolts connected on the bottom bracket(should be 5 or 6). if your bumpers is cracked you might not have a bracket down there.(i dont) then there are three plastic snaps and two bolts (i think) in each wheel well. then (your not done yet!!!) there are i believe 1 or 2 bolts under each headlight. then your bumber should just "pop" off.

your body kit should not have that many bolts to put it on, but i would make sure before you slap it on!!! check to see before you put it on to make sure you dont have to modify any of the existing brackets.
