i just did this a week ago and i actually took the foremost fender liners off as well as the bumper. unfortunately i didnt take pics. you can probably get away with leaving the bumper on but you will try your patience, just because theres so much in the way.
bottom diffuser:
if youve done your own oil change, you start off with removing the bottom diffuser and say hi to about 20 screws and 1 plastic panel clip. (this will give you access to behind the grilles but there really isnt much room to work with).
fender liners:
2 screws on either side for the fenders running on the edge. (invest in a small ratcheting screwdriver that has a 90 degree bend and you wont have to take off the wheels). also 5 plastic panel clips on either side.
front bumper:
open hood, and remove all the plastic clips holding the grille and bumper down (i think its 6). two 10mm bolts on either side hidden by the fender liners removed previously. 1 is right on the fender edge and the other is straight forward by the headlight.

i just use the stock jack points on either side of the car. theres actually one right in the mid front, but its too far back to get my low profile jack in there without going on ramps or having the sides jacked up to begin with. i have 2 jacks so it makes the job a lot easier.
if you need any help just pm me and ill give you my contact info.
