"S" wannabe :o), need help with removing rear bumper

I been searching around how to remove bumpers and was successfully replace my front bumper to an "S". However, I borrowed a small jack and do not want to deal with it, can I still be able to remove the screws in the wheel well without lifting the car or remove the tires rear tires? I was hoping someone in here will able to give me some tips or tricks to make this job easier. Many thanks

Some pics of the front updated bumper:

Please do post pics of how to and how much the cost was to get the bumper put on! Did you have it repainted to match or just bought one off of someone that got the aerokit?

I'm looking into taking off my aerokit front bumper (somehow the paint and material aren't as good as the stock bumper) and having the invisishield put on the bottom bumper and just replacing my stripes and getting the black grille to fit over my rally lights..........

Much appreciated and it looks great!

Front and rear cost me $250 (same color as my car). I have not replace the rear bumper yet due to bad weather. Anyhow, I created DIY for front bumper. Any comments and suggestion would be appreaciated.

I'll try to make the site nicer when I have time:
