To take the valance off,you first need to remove the
Bumper,under the bumper you will see 2 holes,in them
There are some torx bolts,think there t55,
Remove them pull the bumper off abit,but be careful as
The indicator wiring is behind it,disconnect the plugs,
And the bumper will now come off,
the valance normally has a couple off 8mm bolts and if I remember correctly
some tiny torx and some 10mm
you will first have to take the grill off,all of it,
There only held on with some screws and clips,
Next you will see some brackets that your bumper slides on too (guides)
Unbolt them,then you can start unbolting the rest of the 8mm bolts on the valance,
Also we're the wings join the valance, that's normally we're them small torx bolts are,but they seem to
Go bad,and people replace them with 8mm's
Also if you've got fogs,you will have to disconnect the plugs also
Have fun
