    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 12mm 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).
