How to remove the rear bumper

I have searched to no avail so i am sorry if this has been covered somewhere already.
So my question is does any one know how to remove the rear bumper, I have only gotten as far as removing the plastic guard liner and the 2 screws on the tabs at each end of the bumper and also 3 plastic clips just behind the bumper, after this the bumper is still very secured on and i dont want to damage anything trying to pry it off, please help.

You have to remove the trunk liner and the tail lights...there are screws on eack side and big clips. There are clips on the lower edge, and on the wheel arch that need to come out as well.

When you have the fasteners out..you have to pop the bumper off the clips between the fender an the top edge of the bumper cover

Go slow an be careful...and if possible get some help...the retaining clips on the top edge can be bent easily when the fender cover comes off....

Honestly, it's a major PITA.

LOL...not that bad....just a lot of crap to remove

OH BTW...be careful with the exhaust shrouds..the clips break easily if you let the corners of the bumper hit the ground
