Question How do i remove the rear bumper skin?

This may be a dumb question.....I removed the screws and taillights accross the top...and the two bottom nuts...but how do I get to the two bolts that connect the bumper to the 1/4 panel?

**** I had an email describing how to do it.. of course i just formatted my HD and lost it... its pretty hard to do by yourself, get a freind to help you out. first, remove or at least move out of the way the 2 plastic panels on the inside of the trunk to either side. from there you will see the power antenna set up on one side, and the ABS unit on the other side... if you feel around down there, you will feel 2-3 (forget how many exactly) nuts (you cant see them i believe). if i remember correctly they are kind of wierd but a normal socket will do the job. you can do the right side without removing the power antenna but the other side you have to take out the abs box.. its not hard, its a couple bolts and an electrical connection.

another tip.. when seperating from the car, there are some plastic clips helping to hold it in place. be careful with these as they like to break.. i broke one on mine and it was a bitch to get it back in place when reinstalling it.

I dont remember if there is anything to remove from underneath the car. hope that helps some..
