REAR BUMPER REMOVAL
DIFFICULTY LEVEL 0= Basic common sense.
(Hardest=5 Easiest=0)
TOTAL COST $0
TOOLS=Philips Head screwdriver, Flat head screwdriver, 10mm & 14mm socket and ratchet
--Remove the two screws just above the bumper on the inside portion of the trunk jam, you have to remove the plastic covers first. I think the bolts are 14mm

--Remove the plastic pins under the bumper in the back using a flat screw driver

--Using a philips head screw driver, remove the mud flaps if you have any and take out all four screws inside the wheel well

--Now put a towel down over any hard surfaces, start from one side at the wheel well and pull out on it, the bumper is secured by a series of snaps and comes off very easily, I almost fell on my ass with the whole bumper in my hand the first time a tried it, Now you can take out the taillights if you want too

--Remove all the light bulbs from the housings(reverse and tail lights on trunk, brake and blinker lights on rear quarter sides) This is done by simply rotating the bulb holder.

--The taillights on the trunk are ready to come off now, all you have to do is unscrew three nuts for each light, I think they were 10mm, two are on the outside edge, the third is under the inside layer of metal near the tag, the outside tails are harder, they have a bracket that holds them, you have to take it off first, then do the inside screws, this part of the taillight will fall right out so becareful on the last screww and that is why I say to do the bracket first.
