Default Removing the rear bumper cover??

Sorry to post this, because I'm sure it has been ask many times, but I couldn't locate it in the search...

I have had my 04' gray touring for about 9 months as my daily driver and have loved every minute (except for the tire feathering roar and the SQUEAKIEST breaks in the world). :P

Anyhoo... 3 months after I bought my car, someone decided to bump me with their car and imprint the outline of a license plate into my bumper. Looks silly, so I have decided finally to replace it and have found someone who sells brand new oem painted rear bumper covers for 580 bucks plus 90ish shipping. (just to poly mine was gonna cost around 650)

My question is, how do you remove the rear bumper cover? Is this an easy process, or should I take it to a professional?

I am no mechanic, but I am a handy person and am not afraid to use a tool, or two .

Thanks so much in advance!

off topic: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX MY SQUEAKY BREAKS? just did new pads and rotors on the front about 5 months ago...

THANKS AGAIN!

Very easy if you know which way a bolt turns to loosen.



Squeaky brakes can't really be fixed unless you want to purchase some ceramic pads.

Does your brakes squeak only in the mornings when the car is cold? Or...all the time?
