worry about air bags being deploy? are the sensors right behind the bumper?

Not sure of the sensors' whereabouts but any time you are doing involved work on the car you should have the battery disconnected anyway. Just take off the negative battery terminal and be worry free!

No concerns. I have taken mine off probably 10 times already. Actually it is off right now. LOL.

If your keys not in the ignition then they won't go off.

The radio must be on and playing "Believe" by Cher for the airbags not to deploy.

Unless you intend to somehow cause an impact to the front of your car at > 1g while removing the bumper, you should be ok!
