... screw driver to hammer the middle inserts out. Push on them hard enough, and they will just come out on the other side. After they fall out, just pull the fasteners out. After you've removed all the fastens pull the bumper straight back, and it will just slide off. Now to the new bumper: This one has a diffuser on it.

... lip of the fender – avoid removing the soft rubber seal. Once that is done, the problem is revealed! I put the wheel back on, and rolled the car out to the drive way where I could hose down this area. I also used a small soft brush to help dislodge the gunk. Note that the back of this area is actually open to the under side of the car, and the door jam, so you can shoot water from the hose and ...

After raising the rear, take off the rear tire. You might've noticed on the template, that you'll have to drill 2 more holes on the rear wheel-well side of the skirt.

Each time you get through to the BCP, stop for a second, wipe off the area that you just worked on, and spray it again with the CSC.
