I dont think its very rough...Have you taken off the front one? If so, it should go fairly smooth.

Just unscrew the bolts in the fender well (if that's where a set is).
Then go underneath and popoff the black plastic tabs. Once you've done that, take a look inside the trunk....pull back the carpet (there are four black tabs you ahve to unscrew, instead of popping)...and I think there MIGHT be a bolt or two under there. not sure, though.

basically, take off the wheel well nuts, unpop the bottom ones, and then look for ones inside the trunk. I took off the rear bumper to throw in my tail lights (they were a biotch for some reason). it was really easy, but that might've been because I've taken the front bumper off 3/4 times.

good luck!
