Rear Bumper R&R

Did a search with no solid leads, did some damage to my rear bumper it is small but to me it looks as if it is a giant gash. Of course body shop wants 800 plus for removal replacement etc.... Already found the bumper cheaper online with a difference of 110 dollars, guess I would like to know if anybody has done a rear bumper change and how difficult it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its quite easy. Ill tell uform memory. Two bolts underneath, remove taillights, and get the bolts there and over by fender. Just follow the lines of the bumper and look for fasteners. I think its about 8-10 fasteners and its off.

take the tail lights out. should be some clips there.

should be some clips on the bottom of the bupmer. take those out

on the sides of each quarter panel on the inside should be a bolt.

then at the begining of each side of the bumper in the fender well, should be a bolt going straight up into the quarter panel.

done.
