Default How To Remove Rear Bumper??

Can any one tell me step by step how to remove the rear bumper cover? I want to remove that hunk of iron behind the bumper cover. I started removing it but their must be some hidden bolts or nuts. If anyone knows please PM me. Thanks.

The yellow spots should be plastic push fasteners, the reds are nuts on the inside of the car where the spare tire goes and the blue is on corner of the inside of the fenderwell.

that was nice an easy lol!!! good job Dope!

pretty much when taking it off

-take the rear carpet out.
-then take the tail lights out
-remove the center filler panel
-take the push pins out that are now visible.
-then taking the bumper off, its best to use a second person to help lift or manuvour when your removing the nuts,pins
-if you cant get the bumper off, look to see where it gets hung up, and there will most likely be a bolt/nut there.

hope that helps.

it weighed about 19lbs. i just removed mine a month ago lol

since it now acts like a parachute, click on my link, i added a mini rear defuser and cut holes in the bumper and behind the liscense plate, the plate is now on a hinge so that the air can escape. http://rides.webshots.com/album/5477...iNxtf?start=24 its on page 3 an 4.
