Default 2010 camaro rear bumper cover r&r

as the title states. im trying to figure out the safest way to remove the reverse lamp housings to get them smoked along with my tail lamps. the only way seems to be to completely remove the rear bumper. well i tried that with zero luck. the corners of the rear bumper right by the tailights seem to be riveted to the car itsself. if anyone has a bumper cover removal procedure i would greatly appreciate it.

Joe, give me a call. I think we can take it to that shop I used to manage and see if they can get the bumper cover off for you.

I just like to make any car i buy mine. that all begins with my personal yet tasteful and unique mods . i like for all my cars to look subtle yet be extremely nasty when it comes to power! im sure there are people out there who would think that what im doing is completely ignorant and pointless. however it is my car and im building it the way i planned way before i ever took delivery of it.
