Need help on FD rear Bumper REmoval

I'm trying to take off my rear bumper for a paint job, but can't seem to take off the rear bumper. There's seems to be something attached or bolted on the side of the bumper. But I cant' seem to find what is holding onto it.. I mean, I eliminated all possible bolt and nuts that are attached to the bumper..

any Help is appreciated

If it's anything like the FC, youre going to need to remove both fenders to get to the nessecary bolts.

You need to remove the interior trunk plastics....in the deep corners are two nuts to remove that hold the bumper in place.

yea take the interior pieces out from each corner of the trunk, take your hand and reach as far into the corner you can go. you will hopefully find two 10mm bolts, theres one and then another below it about 2-3 inches. you can get a 10mm wrench on it to break the seal and then hand turn it out
