    unbolt the 2 screws above where the mud flaps go... and then get under the car and unbolt the bolts where to the 2 side tow hooks are and then pull the bumper straight off with the support

    and spray some pb blaster on the bolts and screws if u don't want them striped..

    Good advice. I went yesterday and tried and I had the same result. The stripped screws hold the plastic to the rear core support. If you remove the 4 14mm bolts from under the car the entire assembly slides out with ease. You need to remove the phillips screws from the wheel well but otherwise its good to go.

    yeah i learned that with my 3gee ... and of course at the time didn't know there was another way to remove it ... so i tied the bumper to something in the garage and drove forward and ripped all those top screws out with my bumper cover LOL.... good thing the bumper was cracked and trashed anyway lol

    This is why you got flamed when you 1st got here. Ingenious ideas like this that. My favorite is the >$20 catchcan you managed to get under $10. A monster can. Thats cheap man
