Yep- Just pop out the 4 bolts in the trunk. Make sure you disconnect the license plate light wire first, or the bumper will fall off and hang there by the wire.

Every pic works for me, the one posted and the ones in the magazine link. Must be your browser, try hitting the refresh button.
Great reply tx65coupe, can't get any clearer than that for a helpful answer.

man talk bout bent..... is it possible to straighten these things out its taken a pretty good hit with the PO and it has a pretty huge bulge in it. or is it worth it to buy a new already chromed one for ~100 bucks.
the hit was hard enough break both parts that are connected to the quarter panel, would they be called quarter panel extensions?


or if you could give me a site to order em that would be awesome

those are trunk end caps

And I'm envious of the condition of your car.
What's the shape of the interior?

"Quarter Panel Extensions" is the official wording

Thats right they are called quarter panel extensions. I think you have to get used ones. In my opinion its not worth messing with a bent bumper when a new one can be had for 100 bucks. I would just get a new one.
