Rear bumper removal. Am I missing something obvious
Hey guys. taking apart my car somewhat while its in storage.. Starting with the rear end as I'm going to plugs and upgrade boost hoses.
I've undid all the obvious screws including the lights, on the bottom, the top and the corners of the bumper, but it feels like it is being held on still at the middle.
Do I have to take off the bumperettes to remove the bumper?
yes bumperettes have to come off
4 screws at the top centre, 1 at each side leading edge of bumper into quarter panel, 2 each side at bottom leading edge near tire, 1 each side bottom near exhaust tips, bumperettes
careful with wiring when pulling bumper off, license plate lights and reverse sensors if equipped..
yep. easy job. now you have to take off the intercoolers. and heat shields to replace sparks. also check on the coils maybe its good to replace them as well....they love to crack overtime.
btw, how did you lift the rear. I can see the jack-stand (center) is it resting on a trans ? hard to telll. i hope not.

I'll likely do the coils at the same time.
I have it resting on two stands holding the subframe (I think it's called the subframe, I suck at part names lol). I jacked it up on each side point infront of the rear wheels with two separate jacks.
