Can anyone help me on this? Apparently there's like 3 screws attached to this damn thing. I need to remove it in order to replace it with an AG rear bumper instead. I've tried prying it out and that caused a small dent into the body and I stopped after it caused that. Yes, I bought a duraflex AG body kit and this is probably the most difficult one I had ever attempted other than the last 3 that I've done. I don't want to take it to a body shop just to replace a rear bumper. LOL

 

Did you remove all the plastic clips on the top and bottom of the bumper? There are also some screws behind the rear wheels on each side and some that you have to remove from inside the trunk.

 

Hmmm...I never thought of that. Although I do need to replace the tail lights with JDM ones anyways. No wonder they call you "The Mole" BTW, I did remove all of the clips behind the wheel well.

 

Well, it took me almost 2 hours to remove the freaking rear bumper. Apparently there are like almost 16+ screws that you have to remove. The most painful ones are the ones running along the trunk. Gotta remove the covers to spot 4 screws one each side that needs to be removed with a 10m. Not only that, there are 2 more underneath the center portion of the bumper. It was a pain though but I manage to remove the damn bumper. Now, for the AG rear bumper to be installed. =D

 

Take some pics. I want to do rear bumper and side skirts. ALso did your ag bumpper have mounting holes that lined up to factory holes?

 

Sorry dude. I already removed it and no pics. I wish I'll get a camera next time whenever I get paid. LOL Other than that, look for two screws sitting underneath the center portion of the bumper. Its attached to some holding thingy. Remove your inner trunk covers, you know, those black covers in your trunk, and you'll notice there are 2 black 10m screws sitting along the side of the fender or whatever you call it. Not where the springs/shocks are at. Plus, there are 2 more screws on the side next to the tail light, it should be marked with a yellowish color or something like that. When you pop it open, you'll see what I mean. And of course remove 2 screws holding the wheel well with a 10m also just to get to the other 10m at the end of the bumper. The side skirts, most likely you're gonna have to drill a hole at each end since the screws may line up (It pretty much showed you were to drill). To remove the OEM side skirt I think, you're gonna need an allen wrench to remove those screws along the door way. Take note that when you remove the plastic rail along the trunk, you're gonna need a phillips but be warned its not gonna be easy since they may have rust over time. I didn't have a choice when the screw was stripped so I end up drilling a hole and breaking the top part of it off. Well, good luck and ask me if you have any questions.
