While I don't want to contradict Steve about the FAQ, I recall very clearly that there were no plastic rivets that I had to drill out, per the FAQ. Mine came off very easily once I figured out how to get it off.

I took out the grill and, I think, the trim pieces under my headlights, all for better access to something. Must have had to do with getting the rubber off. There were bolts on the side too, by the wheel wells.

Keep in mind that my car is a 1991 745 SE Turbo model, which is nearly a 940 judging by its body panels, computers, instrument systems, etc. So if yours is a "flat-fronted" pre-1990 740, the whole bumper assembly may be very different.
