help removing front fascia

Getting ready to install new grille and decided to install intercooler as well. Ford instructs crap. Removed all top and bottom fasteners but fascia does not want to come off. Top sides seem to be holding it on. Do I remove inner fender wells? Any help would be apreciated before 00 cut it off, ha, ha.

It won't fall off after all bolts are off like older cars. The side literally rips off. The fender well has to be unbolted but not taken off or out. Whn you rip the sides off there 4 or 5 loud pops that will make you think you broke it but that's how it works

So is there somewhere specific to pull? Do the side pull out seperately then from the front? Headlights still installed.

Yes to blower, but its in the box until I get a few miles on the car. Only 900 miles currently.

Thanks all. Its hard to convince youself to rip it off and not break anything. If only installing the intercooler and pump were that easy!

I hear where your coming from but when you pull on the sides and u hear the pops you will see the corners of the fascia are like rubber. It's hard to break anything in this process. Are you still going to do it?
