Yep, Lord Of the Blings knows how

Actually let me help u out here a little.
All u need is a 10mm socket or wrench & a tool to remove clips.
Remove all ur trunk trim panels & u'll see couple 10mm on each side of the bumper, so does the center.
Then go under the car, there many plastic clips hold the bumper to the rear reinforcement bar. Take those off then the whole bumper should come off

When he said "there are many plastic clips" he means "there are a TON of plastic clips" under the car. The 10mm bolts in the trunk are easy to get to but those damn plastic clips gave me a damn headache


All I need now is how to remove the bottom part of the doors? That is where my door caps are going and they need to be removed and replaced with the aftermarket one that I have.
