Guys need help with removal of my rear bumper. The TIS instructions are very vague...wondering if someone who has done this can help me out?
My New bumper is ready and my shop will install for free if i show up with my old bumper removed
Thank you!

This post has some PDFs that I plan on using when I will be removing my rear bumper:

One of the PDFs is TIS and that is very vague, however the first one is a DIY created by another member on here and it has tons of pics.

Good luck!

I did this recently. Basically, just unscrew everything in the rear wheel wells plus from there back. There are a couple of plastic covers between the rear tires and the very back but they come off easily once all the bolts/screws are removed.

Also, there are about 4 bolts inside the trunk around the taillights. Those have to come off too.

It's a lot easier than it first appears. I would recommend just going at it and then eventually you will figure it out.
