yes, there are 3 bolts thru the air dam into the headlight buckets. You get to them from inside the fender. There is also the vertical upright in the center that is bolted to the front gravel pan and the valence. (and the grill itself)..

so a total of 8 bolts to get it out, and then 1 to separate the support from the grill.

wiring separation extra!..
