Im trying to get the rear bumper reinforcement pieces off this is what I see:
theres 4 bolts here, this is on each side.


there's two of these plastic peices that are centered

there's two of these screws and I cant access them they are in between the bumper on the outside maybe those will rip off.



And suggestions or has anyone else done this am I on the right track here?
Thanks

Your on the right track. Just slide a screw driver under the plastic plugs. There are some screws also by the back tires.

Do I have to remove the rear bumberp to get the absorber off or can I pull that through as well? seems like a tight squeeze.

they have a tab in the middle of them you have to remove then they will pull..the tab in the middle makes them spread out and lock

Im really not sure what you mean, dont want to screw it up. You meanthat circular piece? Ive tried tugging on all parts of it with need-nose not working.

Use a pair of wire cutters, dont squeeze them just apply enough pressure to grasp the end then pull down.

How much weight does this take off the car?

Hark_Z

iTrader: (12)

21 lbs for the rear bumper reinforcement, and its 24 for the front I believe

Now that I have some screws off I keep finding more. How do I get these off??

I cant get to them..
Also I cant get to the bottom of the plastic screws and they wont budge?

Sorry for being pesky but need some advice here guys if youve done this..

Cant get to the metal pins without scarring up the panels and the plastic pieces wont budge without busting. Someone must have gotten by this step before?

Curious on this too. Also is the back end really flimsly after you remove this? I dont want the car looking ghetto rigged.

Those plastic clips are a pain. Get something like a claw and pull the center circle on the clip. This is how to take off the bumper: https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-body-work/518570-ceta-bumper-how.html
