I have little patients so have walked away until I get the answer from one of you. Thanks.

Is it necissary to remove the bumper to install the last 4 bolts. I might remove it next weekend, and do it.
Does anyone know how to remove the rear bumper, I have searched and found nothing.
Thanks

Well, after 3 hours of frustration, I was finally able to get that bumper on. 
The intercooler and the hoses were being a bitch. I did the necessary cutting for the hoses, but I could not get the bumper to sit correctly, so after spending a couple of hours fine tuning the cuts, I was able to get the bumper to sit flush.
What is the results???
Well, dang. That bumper is the prettiest thing that I have ever see on my car. My car looks so MEAN!!!!
I LOVE IT.
Tim, thanks so much for getting this together and thanks for you help yesterday.

NOW--don't scrape that integrated front lip of the bumper while you are parking--especially if you are lowered. Stop well b4 the end where the concrete block or curb is.
Can't wait. But my rear under is not at Riverside until 7-8

All you do is:
1) take off old bumper
2) remove grille
3) remove side marker mounts (grille snaps, sidemarker mounts need the rivets drilled out.
4) install grille and sidemarker mounts in new bumper
5) drill out rivets and remove the extra spacers on bumper
6) put new bumper on car
If you have an intercooler then the air ducts will need to be modified.
I did mine in a little over an hour and never even looked at the instructions until I was done.

I installed mine myself and it was way more complicated than I anticipated. It's not terribly difficult, but it's not a simple bolt-on swap out either. I wouldn't recommend you skip any of the steps on the instructions except the intelligent cruise control part, if you don't have that feature.
