How to remove bumper
Hey guys,
I painted my back bumper but the company I used didn't reinstall it correctly because there is a gap between the bumper and the body of the car. I want to remove it then re-install it myself. Please post steps or url on how to remove the bumper.
Thx.
Ryan

I dont recall there being a DIY on the rear ever posted? If i remember correctly. there is 1 screw in each wheel well (there is a small notch cut out of the bumper (close to where it ends and meets the body in the wheel well) and like 2 clips on the underside by the spare tire well area and like 4 or so when you pop the trunk. Then it should just pop off

CJITTY - You're right and I've done that, three times in fact. They finally got the paint right...this problem I can manage so I took the easy way out...I'm going to try it myself.
