Here is my DIY to remove the mtech front bumper. The reason I decided to create this was because I never found complete, common sense directions on the forum. Yeah, I read the TIS documents but didnt feel like this went into enough detail. Here is a nice, step by step DIY to help you remove the bumper with pictures. Hopefully this will help someone down the road.
I left the DIY in word format as I didnt have the capabilities to convert into PDF.

Just wanted to add a little more information. Those three screws on either end under the headlight do not need to be removed. If you look closely at the parts, those three screws are holding a plastic part onto the fender that basically clamps the bumper on. The first clip you can see and with a thin blade screwdriver you can loosen it and remove it. The next two you can't see, but there is a hole about the size of a hole punch in the metal above each tab, push your screwdriver through that and you can pull the bumper out without having to remove that plastic piece.
I removed the bumper so that I could replace the washer fluid pumps that were leaking and learned about this.
