Thumbs down Anyone knows how to remove the rear bumper?

Does anyone know or has removed the rear bumpers? I am thinking about installing the Rostra rear parking sensors which is mounted behind the rear bumpers for a clean look and no outside sensors holes. Just want to know how to take it off before I start this project. Any tips, directions, pictures will help a lot. Thanks...

I'll do a post reply after I try to remove it myself. I'll do more research. I'm going to install a behind the bumper reverse sensors by Rostra. It should be clean looking when done. Wish me luck....

Check the Toyota Lexus Service Support site, for $10 you can download all you want for 24 hours - Great DEAL!!!! See attached from that site, this is for the 2006 and it is probably good for some of the prior years.

Dx3...
I post questions because I do not know how to do it. I did not get a chance to remove the bumper as my car is in the shop. If I know the answers or can even find the answer I will post it to all members. This site is designed to help all Lexus owners. I did a post on trying to find out how to install and find Bank 1 Sensor 2 for my GS300 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...90#post2651290 after figuring it out I did a follow up on how to install and which sensor to change. Sometime I answer my own question if no one gets to it on time. Here is the follow up. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...highlight=bank I applaud members who try and help others. Here is the fix to the GS300 bank 1 sensor 2 install which I posted. I hope this answers your question. This forum is the 1st place I look for help. I hope it's also your place also. If I do decide to tackle the bumper removal I'll do a follow up. Looks pretty tough. Waiting for more feedback. DanozLS430...
