Nope. 2 under the grill. 1 at the bottom of the bumper connected with a plastic bracket.

The metal rods are only on 95-98 bumpers unless added after.

Before doing the ones under the fender, you must disconnect part of the wheel well liner to get access to the bolts. 2 screws in the wheel well, one screw at the edge of the bumper, and 2 where the liner meets the lower air deflector.

So in total 14 screws/bolts and 3 plastic clips. Sounds hard when you read it, but once you do it once, it's cake. I've done it too many times now.
