No, the rear bumper doesnt have to come off to take them out. I'm at work though so I cant tell you how specifically how to pull them, but I do remember it being extremely easy. I kinda remember the end towards the front of the car comes out, then you slide the rest of it out the front then as well.

Unfortunately, its been more than a few months, so I'm not remembering very well, but I can guarentee you dont need to pull the bumper.

I'm sure someone will chime in and clarify it enough that you can pull yours too. Just give it a few.

LOL...so I was entirely correct....but backwards. I guess we popped the rear part out, then slid it towards the rear. Either way, you do not need to pull the bumper.

With the risk of sounding stupid, what are you going to use....did you just get tint from like an auto parts store?
