I hope someone can help me.

Can someone post the instructions to remove the rear bumper valence, the gloss back piece.

I have some parking damage on it that I noticed today and I need to get it repainted. The diffuser looks straight forward to remove, but can't decide if the bumper has to come off or not to remove the valance.

Thanks for your help in anticipation.

Best regards
Andrew

 

I was able to remove the valance without removing the rear bumper. Once you remove the lower bolts the valance pretty much pops in and out of place (there are a bunch of slots that it slides into). It will take a little bit on time but it's doable. I didn't look up instructions however if some were available it probably would have helped.

 

I replaced my valence panel 2 weeks ago. After I took off the bumper and saw how it was held in, I realized taking off the bumper wasn't necessary. 1 screw on each edge, 4 bolts in the bottom middle, and the rest are just clipped in. And of course, couple screws for the reverse lights.
