Rear bumper removal?
Aero kit will be here today so I thought I'd ask how to remove the rear bumper before I just go after it with a screwdriver... Anyone had any experience?
TIA,
Matt

I removed mine using the instructions for the SportLink (which was what
I was installing) and it was quite easy. The only unobvious thing is the
screws hidden under the fender flairs on each side. Don't pull them too far
or you could have trouble with the further foward attachments for the
flairs.
All in all, it's pretty darn simple. The front is a bit more of an adventure
but is not really difficult either.

Thanks for the link but I've already studied those and unfortunately they only say to clip the apron to the standard mounting points. :( You'd think they'd be a little more explicit with the details.

That just might be piece of the puzzle I need here...A search yielded this result:
