So I have gotten most of my new aero parts installed. I took off the lower tail light piece and I see 8 bolts. Those dont look like they even hold on the rear bumper cover. Can you guys point me in the right direction please? How many nuts and bolts am I looking for. Thanks for all your help...

The nuts that hold the rear bumper cover on should be accessible in the trunk area. Pull the interior shroud back and out of the way and you should be able to find them.

To completely remove the bumper cover:There are 3 10mm nuts on the left and right fenders. They can be accessed through the service covers on either side. The driver side are easy to get to, on the passenger side there is a vent that needs to be removed. It also is held on by 2 10mm. nuts.Lift the carpeting to reveal the spare tire well. On either side there will be 2 rubber grommets, (4 total), remove these grommets and there will be a 14mm bolt revealed. Remove these 4 bolts and the entire rear bumper can be pulled out and removed. It is then much easier to seperate the cover from the bumper and re-attach it.

Thats why I go play in the junk yard.It's much easier to mangle a wrecked car and figure things out then waste the one shot at doing it on your own vehicle.
