How To: Remove Front Bumper
Well I know some peopple have asked for a How To on removing the front bumper of a 2009 Ralliart. Well I finally decided to help the family out.
Things you'll need:
Ratchet and 10mm Socket
Flat Head Screw Driver
Phillips Head Screw Driver
Ok so here we go....
Step 1: Pop your hood
Step 2: Remove Screw Pop Clips holding on the Intake Snorkel with a Phillips Head Screw Driver(red). Also, Remove the 3 pop clips holding down the cover below it with a flat head screw driver(blue).
Step 3: Remove five 10mm bolts holding on the support brackets attached to the front bumper.
Step 4: Remove the two 10mm bolts in the fender wells where the bumper meets the fender. There's one on each side.
Step 5: Remove the four Phillips Head Pop Screws at the bottom of the fender well. Two on each side.
Step 6: Remove the four Pop Screws on the bottom shield closest to the fender wells. Two on each side. (Couldn't get a good picture of it)
Step 7: Remove the five 10mm bolts on the front of the bottom shield.
Step 8: Remove the two 10mm bolts on the bottom grill.
Step 9 Unplug the Fog Light plug in the center of the bumper right below the hood latch.
Final Step: Pull on the sides of your bumper right next to where the bumper meets the fender. There are about five clips holding it on.
And The bumper should fall right off. Sorry about the crappy pictures but hopefully you get the idea.

I just took mine off for my FMIC and all the bolts are 10 mm not 12. Also if you're doing the FMIC you may want to take off the foam bad on the bumper beam.
To get the clips undone i used a flathead and pushed up. Being careful i didn't mess up my paint.

In the hood, you need to remove 4x plastic cap and 2x 10mm bolt under mess cover. (You will find 2x opening on mess, they can be opened from the right. Left and Right of the litch)
Under the bumper, there are 4x screws using philips (hiding in a square box thing) and 2x piliar pop up plastic cap.
Each side of the wheel, 2x philip head pop up and 1x 10mm bolt (top one).
