Remove the marker lamps and tail lamps.

Remove the screws that were found under the marker lamps.

Remove the screws that attach the splash shield to the rear fascia on both sides. (I think there is 4 per side?)

Pull up on the centers of all the black plastic push-nuts found on the top and bottom of the fascia. Some of these are found when tail lamps are removed, some by the exhaust splitters can be hidden.

Fascia will just pull off.

Remove the tail lights and you’ll see a row of plastic clips that hold the top of the fascia to the metal frame. Use a screw driver or similar tool to pry up the center of each clip then remove the whole clip, There are also a few clips on the bottom of the fascia.

Remove the side marker lights and remove the small screws that hold the side of the fascia to the rear clip. I can’t remember if they’re 7 or 8 mm. There are also several screws inside the back half of the wheel well that have to be removed.

On the bottom did we mention to remove the fasteners at the metal exhaust shields? You also must remove the screws that hold the wheelhouse liners and remove the license plate lamps. Its not a hard job but they are many fasteners and screws to remove. Figure about an hours worth of labor Tools phillips screw driver, flat screwdriver, and a hex screw driver.

BTW - those plastic fasteners get funky with age. I have a ton of new ones. LMK if you need some, just pay postage.
