Do you mean the chrome strip, because the bumper skin is bolted on at the wheel well and underneath. I also would bet (but don't know for sure) that it has the pressure clips like the front bumper.

They work now
I shut my pc off last night

Pain, only if you live in a place where there is rust...

There's a chance that the side support bolts are rusted in place and when you try and get em off the support will just desintegrate...

Other than that, simply 4 bolts on the floor of the trunk, and 5 on either side, 3 inside, 2 out. and boom, off it comes.
