It's way easiest to remove the whole bumper with valence, license plate and heat sheild all left in place, and you have alot more access.
Like has been said there are 2 nylocks and washers holding it on each side and they are under the rubber strips. You don't have to remove the whole rubber strip, just remove the philips head machine screw under the plastic cap in the middle of the rubber strip next to the bumperette. These steel screws thread right into the aluminum bumper and get wet when it rains or you wash the car so a little anti-seize is good on them when reinstalling Untuck it from the slot in the bumperette and let it swing out, you will see the 13mm nylocks. There are small nylocks on the studs in the rubber bellows that are easy to get off from the inner side under the car with a 1/4" drive socket wrench. The rubber bellows are usually stiff and it takes some pulling to get the studs out of the small holes on the end of the bumper but they come out. This is where it's easy to scratch a little paint on the ends of the bumpers, but it's aluminum and any possible scratches will be hidden under the rubber bellows when reinstalled. I put insulated spade terminals in the license plate light wire harness so it's quicker and alot easier to reconnect them when removing and reinstalling the bumper in the future. |

Not all rubber strips have access holes. Mine don't so you have to remove the boobs. It's also nice to clean under there as well. I wax the area before putting the boobs back.
So to recap, if your rubber has a hole you can get off easier but if not then moving the boobs will help get your nuts off AND the boobs get a free wax job.

So now adding rubbers to nuts and boobs??? YIKES! In all seriousness if you look at the original poster's picture you can see the small plug on the rub strip, under which the philips screw is, under which the bumper nuts are.
Also if you look at the picture that Rarly posted of the black car, you can see that the boobs are off and there are no bumper nuts under them...

Tug just remove the bumper and all goes well…
I have/had the same Borla exhaust you have now and it’s much easier with the bumper off. Borla is rather large and clumsy, barely fits with the bumper and valence in place. Quote:

Sorry for the digression.
To directly answer the question, yes of course there is more room to work if you take the bumper off and it is not difficult at all. It is also good to note that it is not mandatory to remove the bumber when changing out a stock muffler. It is also good to note that with my muffler you don't have to remove anything, not even the valance. The reason that I don't remove the bumper on client's cars is to protect the bumper from possible damage during the process and to not disturb the position of the bumper and associated hardware. Also lessens the chance of broken rusty nuts and bolts. .

And it is so true about Rarly's exhaust...that thing is so nice to work with. It weighs nothing, and the dimensions are perfect.

Slitting that nice young girl's shirt has given me some ideas! One of which I might apply to my car.
![]() I'm toying with the idea of leaving my skirt off and exposing my pumper ... ![]() After putting engine back in last weekend, I have been driving around without a rear bumper all week and I reckon it looks heaps more bad-ass than anything else I see on the roads around here. However, it looks a bit too naked without a bumper, so I am considering chopping the centre out of a spare bumper and filling in all the bolt holes for an all white look without the rubber strips. Oh yeah, and it should make it easy to remove turbo and muffler. ![]() Shame the muffler isn't a bit more purposeful looking though. PS. I haven't refitted the big red reflector yet so I photo-shopped out the mounting holes.

I'd be more inclined to drill some holes in the bumper if your looking to get more cooling. I think Craig 930 has done that. Looks good.
Cutting out the section in your picture won't provide much protection. I've removed all rubber from the back if my bumper and filled in the holes. I like the look. I'm tempted to drill some holes as well. Quote:

License plate light wires
I tied fish lines to the license plate light wires so when I fitted everything back up I could easily pull the wires through the heat shield and out the bumperetts..
