17 2.5i front bumper cover removal

Hi everyone! I don’t think I’ve actually ever posted, but I’ve been a member for a long time, on my second Forester now. Yesterday, my wife managed to somehow spin it out in the snow, and slide the front bumper down a guardrail. Thankfully she was fine, and no sheet metal damage.

So I ordered a used cover in the right color, the actual bumper that’s hidden, and the brackets. While I’m waiting for all that to show up, I wanted to familiarize myself with removing the bumper cover and I can’t really find much. I did find a post with the directions for the sport grille install, but the pics look like an XT, and I wasn’t sure the 2.5i would be the same. I’m most concerned with the joint to the fenders and under the lights.

Thanks in advance for your help!
