RE: rear bumper install
Although the write-up was spectacular, it didn't say much about the removal of the rear bumper. Does anybody know the length that the sockets have to be? There's four nuts that are on threaded onto some pretty long bolts. Obviously some deep sockets are needed, but at what length and what size are the nuts. They look somewhere between 10 and 13. Anybody know for sure?

RE: rear bumper install
Nope. 11mm or 7 1/6 (same).
I just swapped rear bumpers on a GT 2 hours ago lol.
For those 4 nuts in the trunk, you need a deep socket and a short extention.
If you don't have a magnet, use some tape inside the socket so the nuts don't fall in the double wall of the tail panel.
PITA to fish them out without the friendly magnet
.
Have fun.
