Quick Rear Bumper outter skin removal tips, Please!

HI All.
This weekend I have a chance to grab from two perfect rear bumper caps. I only need one, tho
I know about the quick pins at the bottom, about 7 or so.
I know about the 4 verticle nuts and bolts per side panel.
WHAT I DO NOT KNOW IS HOW TO ACCESS THEM
I'll bet I need a 10mm deep socket & extensions.
And rip out any offending interior body panel in the way.
What about the attachment points behind the taillight assembly?
Are they like the outside bottom, those pin type things you attack with nibblers & a flat edge screwdriver.

Thanks for the quick rear bumper cap relaese trick tips!

I have a choice of three perfect front driver fenders, too!
Still looking for that front bumper nose cover!

well not to burst your bubble but you have to take the taillights out to get access to the ones under the lenzes..also the rear license plate bracket has to come off as well...once all those are off it just slides off(providing there isnt alot of rust holding it on)

good luck

ps..dont think this will take you 5 mins....more like 30 mins..maybe more

Tailites easiest part.
Zip nut/wing nuts.
Thanks for the tips!
It'll be hot so I wanna be done quick.
How is the license plate area attached?
Are the attachment nuts behind tailites-bumper the same type of zip plastic pin nuts as under bumper facing the ground?

license plate nuts are 10mm same as the whole car, and under the tailights is those things you use a gar nose pliers to get ahold of then pull out..

good luck
