After hours of searching I couldn't find a clear answer. How do I remove the rear bumper. Do I need to remove the rear wheels to access the fender lining? Do I need to remove the tail lamps? Thanks guys.

 

No need to remove the tires.
Under the car there are 2 bolts behind the wheel wells and 2 plugs near the inner part of the exhaust
Remove/loosen carpet on both sides (left/right) of trunk by taking out the plastic plugs (at least take out 4 clips on each side to get enough access to the panel behind
There are 2 bolts on each side of the trunk. Take those out.
Use a long socket wrench to get the 1 bolt on each side near the seem of the wheel wheel.
You will also have to remove your taillights to gain access to the plugs under it. There are a total of 2 (one under each taillight)
There are also 2 clips on the inner part of the taillights.
Make sure you have all the bolts and plugs mentioned above out before you try to get these clips to release. Its a little tricky just apply some force (taking a look at how the clip sets may help you in not having to apply as much...or damaging your bumper)
I would also recommend putting some sort of blanket under the car. Also to use some sort of painters tape to tape above the bumper seem to prevent scratching when those clips release and the bumper pops off..
Pull out the harness for the license plate light and there ya have it!

 

thanks for the detailed response! Looks like i'll have a sweet time today.

Sweet. I just finished taking my bumper off and pulling off some nasty grille the body shop did to my kenstyle, now I have to put new ones on there myself. I snapped some photos of the process to do a DIY since some of you guys wanted a DIY on it. I just dont' know how to post the pics right underneath the words instead of just attachments. Someone plz explain to me so I can get this up.
