how to remove rear bumper shocks

hi guys,
what am i missing? on the passenger side, i removed the 2 bolts on the rear shocks, are there additional bolts under the car that i need to remove? i am not seeing anything above the muffler...unless the piece above is is some sort of shield that needs to be removed first. same on the driver side, are there more bolts above the tank? thanks.

There are mounting points you have to access from inside the trunk area....flip your carpet back and look beside the spare tire hole, you sill see 2 rectangular access hole covers you have to remove to get to them....
