Bumper Removal...
I had a cover on the plates that would not come off so that I could put my plate sticker. So I had to take off my bumper, to take of my plates, because the screws would just spin. Once I removed the bumper I saw the problem, and just like I thought the metal tab that the screws screwed into where rusted on to the screws. Also the plastic tabs that were part of the bumper broke when I tried unscrewing the first time, oops.... here are some pics. So I'll have to figure out what to do next year to fix that problem.
