Replacing rear bumper?

Easy/difficult?

Front looks simple, not seen anything on replacing/removing the rear - anyone have a clue/done it themselves?

I did it when I installed my exhaust finishers. It's not bad, just screws and clips. MikeB is right, the tail lights have to come out, but they're easy to remove as well. If you're going to do it, take your time with it, you should be fine.

Yes, the tail light do need to be removed though it really wasn't that bad at all. Just don't loose any of the plasic screws and snaps.

Help.

Could mdw33333 and/or VividRacing.com help me out. You two have had experience removing the rear bumper.

I have removed as much screws and fasteners as I could, but still the rear bumper is not coming out.

I have removed the the side trunk linings, removed the two taillights.
Removed the two hex screws on the top of the bumper under the taillights. I think there was two fasteners there that I also removed.
Removed the three fasteners on the bottom bumper rearwards of the muffler.
Removed two hex screws in the rear wheel wells towards the rear bumper.

So what else is there???

I know I am close, please provide any help if anyone can. Perhaps someone with a shopmanual?

BTW, I am planning to install external rear parking sensors.

Thanks in advance.
