Not sure I am understanding. Why are you wanting to remove the bumper? The reflectors can be replaced very easily with the bumper remaining on the car.. Can you clarify what you are trying to do?

Yea, for the front bumper reflectors. U can just pop them out.
But for the rear bumper reflector. Its installed from the inside with one bolt i think.
Its the red reflector under the tail light.

There are number of screws holding it at the bottom. Also, you will have to partially remove rear wheel well arch trims to uncover remaining screws. Once all screws are removed, top portion of the bumper unsnaps. Just be careful when prying on it, when attempting to unsnap it at the top

Damn.. sorry for the mis-info.. I know the fronts come off with dental floss.. I had thought the rears were identical... How crazy they are actually bolted on.. I hope you get them replaced fairly easily..
