All you have to do is unbolt it and remove the black plastic screws, it's really not hard at all, just take out the head lights, remove the some of the trunk liner and unbolt it with a 10mm wrench...

yeah youll have to also unbolt the rear factory rocket panels they have 3 little bolts on each side sometimes this get rusty they tend to just brake when your unbolting them, you have to unbolt them from under you car, underneath your rear lights theres 3 more plastic bolts on each side, and the rest you could get from inside the trunk. carfully remove the wiring from you rear lights so you dont burn the bulbs this things are sensitive unless you dont mind and just go buy some more their cheap like 2.99 for two hahaha is pretty simple just follow the seams aroud your bumper and look for bolts to unbolt....

Just take out the headlights and start unbolting stuff. If you still have the plastic shield on the bottom it may take you a tad longer due to all the clips.

The bolts on the rear bumper side bottom are 2 full *****es.
I ended up just reefing on it until it came off. It was damaged and getting replaced anyways.. so I didn't care.

Save the bolt bars (whatever the hell it's called) that are on your rear bumper. it's on the part that bolts up to your rear quarters. Save this. You'll need these pieces when you go and install your bodykit if you have one.

It's a black plate piece that has a slight curve. 3 bolts on it. Just tap the bolt sdie with the hammer to get it out.
