Rear bumper removal

Not a great day for the little one (one dark met. gray CS). The wife backed into a truck, hitting it in the licence plate frame . The bruise is to deep scratches to the paint and a slight crease in the paint/bumper. I'm wanting to just removel the bumper and bring it to a body shop to fix and paint vs. the whole car. This should avoid any overspray and paint smell in the car. So how does that rear bumper come off ?

Thanks

Outstanding

My wife backed into a sign getting out of a parellel parking space and did more damage than some paint..

I have a new cover coming from fellow NAM member in the right color and this is great to tell me how to install

Thanks!

Check these:

It's not hard, maybe an hour or so. You'll want to jack up the ar and remove the rear wheels. If you were local I'd help. Remember to detach the wires to the marker lights on the rear fender flares (and backup seonsors if you have them).
