Taking off the rear bumper?

Whats the fastest easiest way to do it? Also where are all the bolts? Another question, can i put a thin layer of bondo on the front nose to make it nice and smooth or is that a no no?

Re: Taking off the rear bumper?

Taking off the rear bumper is pretty simple. There are plastic fastners along the top and bottom side that you will need to remove. You will need to remove the tail lights to get access to the top side ones. Then three nuts hold the bumper to the rear quarter panel on each side. You will need to remove the rear interior panels to get access to those.
