Default DIY Projector Install/ BUmper REmoval

My friend just got some Pros for his 01 AV6 and it came wid some pretty crappy instructions.. I was wondering if anyone can help out wid a DIY of the installation or list the basic jist...

OR

If you dont know how to install the Pros, can anyone help out with the bumper removal? And are jack stands required? Thanks...

no jackstands are needed. there are 2 screws in each fender well, 4 grommits under the hood near the grill, and 8 grommits (i think) under the car. it's really easy to do ...

here's a PDF file on how to install the oem lip ... step 1 is bumper removal ...

for the bottom grommits ... use two flathead screwdrivers, one on each side of the grommit head. it'll pop out easier that way.

Default new problem.lol

OK...we got both of the screws from the fender off, the clips on the bottom and the ones on the top..but the friggen bumper wont come off.. Are we supposed to force it off OR should it be slipping off easily?
ThANKs..
If you can IM me on AIM (DsCx628) it'd really be helpful...if i dont respond that means that i'm outside tryin to get this done..thanks.

bumper will NOT come off easily. I have taken off my bumper several times and all the times, i just had to put force. have 2 people grab the bumper, one on each side and make sure u spread out your strength evenly on the bumper and not concentrate all the force on one spot. at the count of 3, u just gotta yank it out......nuttin u can do about that cause thas just the way it was meant to be done. no harm done to the bumper.
