The bumper and the spolier will have to be removed, After that the bolts are right there. No trouble getting them out with a socket driver.

To remove the bumper and spoiler, do I need the bently manual or is it just the few visible bolts that you can see from under the car?

I think I will keep it and give it a try if it is something I can do myself. Installer would not remove the bumper.

Remove the rear bumper, it CAN be done without....but is a ROYAL PITA. Removing the bumper isnt that bad and will make the exhaust install a joke.

Jackhoff,
No I did not follow any manual. Just take off the spolier by pressing the center plastic rods and the spolier will come off, Careful not to lose the small plastic toothpick size rod. The bumperettes must come off and the lisence plate as well. Put the bumper down in the grass careful not to scratch it.
You may need to take the wheels off if you dont have a small enough tool to fit.

After that take off all bolts that hold on the bumper. Then remove he clamps on the pipes, and the two top bolts. and it will fall off.
Very easy- maybe 1.5 hours.
Email me directly if you like,
