Rear Bumper Questions

Hey guys! So recently I bought a ‘23 ORP, and today I decided to do the valances. I got the front off fine but I was having problems with the rear bumper removal. I removed all the bolts and clips that I could find under and on the side of the car and I still couldn’t get the bumper off. It seemed like there was some sort of bolt or clip holding the bumper down in the corners but there was nothing visible to remove. Has this happened to anyone else? I’ve watched countless videos and everyone seems to be removing the bumper with ease. Thanks in advance!

 

I'm waiting to take delivery of my OR in early January. What are you planning to do to the valences? Color change via a film? I was pondering changing the color of these on my Classic silver since they appear to be a different shade of silver.

I purchased mine from here and used the installation video on the product page. Only issue I had was getting the corners below the tail lights to seal. The clips are ultra tiny and can bend easily. Make sure they are straight when reconnecting to the rear quarter and they will seal tight. As far as your issue follow this install for the rear. It is thorough.

 

I am actually painting them. I decided to use SEM Trim Black and I did my front one today. About 3-4 light coats and it looks super good.

Will check this video out, I don’t think I’ve watched this one yet. Thanks.
