How hard is it to remove and install the rear bumper support + cover Just what the title says... i dont want to be charged extra labor for them to uninstall the old bumper and bumper support, so i would like to do it myself. Is it hard? Can anyone point me to a writeup or explain it to me? thanks.

I know this is a write up of the CETA mod but the begining part is how to take off the bumper. Now sure how to take off the support though...

its easy, 4 bolts underneath, 4 bolts on top, 2 on each side one screw in the fender and one bolt under each side by the wheels, you have to take out the carpet inside to get to the bolts and you have to unscrew and remove the taillight/center piece which is 6 bolts total on the inside.

for our cars you just need to follow the bolts, its pretty much like taking a puzzle apart and putting it back together, its incredibly easy, you shouldnt have to yank or pull real hard, if its not coming off then look around for the bolt/clip holding it together. just take your time and keep your eyes open
