Removing Rear Bumper on coupe?

Should be fairly easy to do no? 3 tabs on each of the rear wheel wells along with a screw underneath the car attaching the bumper to the car... Do you have to remove the tailights is the question....

I replaced my rear bumper once. Body shop needed access to the trunk to undo some bolts there so if you have any kind of audio setup, you may need to pull them out to get access.

Good Luck!

lol...i tried a search for this a few weeks ago. read a diy on this site...and unless i did something wrong (dont think i did) it was not as it read. yes those things listed are the first steps but there are many more bolts to take off that i couldnt access without a lift. didnt have time for that and i did what i needed to without completely taking it off.
just be prepared for a bit more than what you say
hope that helps

Yeah, so there were a little more then 3 bolts lol... Took over an hour on the first try. had to remove the trunk carpet and lining... there are a couple of push clips, a large screw on each side.

Then you have to remove the taillamp lining, the tail lights themselves, and a couple of more screws and clips.
