Help take off rear bumper!

Does anyone know how to take off the rear bumper? my brother chip my rear bumper with his booksack so now I want to repaint it. Stuff like this annoy me so I have to fix it right away. Kind of **** cause I know the paint will probably never match the same...

Very noticeable from up close and far away.

It'll be easier if you just pull the motor out, the headers will come right off.

There's a screw that holds the side of the bumper to the qtr panel just like the front bumper, right on the tip. Take those screws off, then remove your taillights and you should see big fat clips, remove those and the bumper should pretty much pull right off, there MIGHT be a screw or a clip underneath the bumper, just look around it shouldn't be to hard at all... the hardest part is the clip under the taillight which itself is pretty easy. 10x easier than removing the front bumper.

a crowbar should do the job easily. if not, use a garden shovel and WD-40.

Well I was thinking of staying with pearl since it's a luxury car. Maybe starfire pearl that way I don't have to paint the doorjams and all that. SAve alot on money and also the Lexus pearl is sexy to me. It has that hint
of blue in it and changes color
