Removing Rear Bumper...How do I do it

Ok, so I removed the 2 side screws from the bumper and the 2 black "screw/pushpins" from underneath the car. When I start popping the snaps off, I get stuck around the middle of the tail lights. Do I have to remove the taillights? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] If not, what am I missing?

Did you check the fender well?
Im not sure if there is one there or not anyways
You should get a friend to help you

after you got the bumper off the car (the 2 sides rip off) go to the middle and lift it up then pull
thats how I did mine

I think you're forgetting the two "hidden" bolts on the inside of the taillight. You have to open the trunk to see them. There should be two black caps, one on each side. Remove those, and you'll see the bolts.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

All the DIY for pulling the front bumper off say that you should have a friend, but I got mine off without a friend. Just be careful not to drop it...
