The best way to remove it would be using a Sawzall.

Or, you can attch 2 hooks to the underside, those hooks are attached to ropes that wrap around a tree, put the car in drive, and then slam the gas down.

I guarantee the bumper will come right off.

Use a chain. Works better.

Seriously, you have to remove the plastic on the inside of the back of the hatch. You'll see some screws and stuff. I think there are also some screws around the top of the back of the rear wheel wells. Hope that helps some. :shrug:

it doesn't take much. open the hatch, pull the plastic from the inside of the trunk (right at the back) off, and then take out a few of the screws holding it on. there's a few at the back of the wheel wells too.

just start taking screws out, and it'll come off. i didn't look into it first, and mine came off easily.
