Would dry ice work on plastic? I thought that only worked on metal.

Also, does anyone have a link to a rear bumper removal DIY, its a 01 if that makes a difference for spoiler removal.

dry ice will work even better on plastic due to the higher thermal coeficient of expansion.

as for bumper removal, are you removing the entire bumper, or just the poly cover? i recall removing my cover WITHOUT removing the spoiler; i just put the spoiler in the 'up' position.

to remove the bumper cover, jack up the back of the car. remove the tail lights. remove the rear wheel liners. undo all of the screws in the wheel wells, under the back of the bumper, and on the top of the bumper cover. there are a few clips that hold the heat shield to the bumper cover that you'll need to remove. after that, the cover comes right off. this is all from memory; i don't remember it being all that complicated. here's an exploded view:
