quick question, can you take of the rear bumper off yourself?

 

yep you sure can!!

 

how many bolts?

 

~ 8? 3 or 4 on either end and 2 on either black bracket near the back of the taillights

 

as many as hold it on

 

there are 3 or 4 on each end. You get to them by pulling back the inner panel and reaching down in the sides. There are probably 5 or 6 across the back which you again have to pull the panel off to get to. Then there are about 5 or 6 on the bottom that you can get to under the car. Also there is a clip at the tag...almost forgot about that one.

 

a bumper cover is different than a bumper replacement right?

 

i think the cover is just the urethane part, the replacement *MIGHT* include the foam underneath as well as the structural bar. I have a rear bumper with structure and foam available, it only has 2 blemishes, PM me if you need one.
