My rear bumper hit a divider wall on the freeway and I've got pretty much every bolt I can see off the rear bumper, removed tail lights, got the ones underneath, got splash guard clips off but bumper still won't budge. I plan on banging it out with a hammer, bondo, the paint the entire car since its already primer color.
 
How bad is it? You might be able to crawl under the car and hit it with your hand and pop it right out. those bumpers flex real easy.
 
Did you get the 6 that are in the trunk 2 vertical on each on the end plates and 2 going back into the bumper.
 
Its pretty bad, I tried hitting it out with a rubber mallet and it didn't budge so I def. need to take the whole thing off. What do you mean by end plate? On the sides up high?
 
The two sides of the bumper that head up toward the wheelhouse. Remove all the plastic in the trunk and you will find them.
