Default Removing 5th Gen Rear Lip

How do you do it? Do I have to remove the entire rear bumper assembly than work on it.. because I notice the bolts are facing backwards when i get under the car.. I just want to make sure yo.

According to this it looks like you should be able to remove the rear lip without taking off the bumper, why you taking it off yo?

just jack it up as high as you can and crawl underneath...if its just the lip you dont need to remove the bumper..

Im going to sand the lip down and paint it white.. as well as the side-skirts.. as you can see.. All I have done now is the front lip.. I guess I'm going to have to take rear bumper off.. And VR: that image you showed me gives me a headache.

Here is a decent DIY on side moldings, it should be the same for 5th gens and for your rear lip: http://www.geocities.com/accor....html

C'mon VR.. I dont even think you read that, lol. Thats a DIY for painting them.. I know how to do that (worked @ a bodyshop for long time). I just need to know how to get rear lip off (but I allready figured it out). I appreciate the help, but double-check your sources cuz.

I knew it was a post for painting them.....figured you could do the same for the lips w/o taking them off......but oh well just trying ta hook you up. (I said lips). And I didn't know you worked at a body shop y0, thats a very useful trade whether for personal gain or for a career
