I think the mesh grilles are 'clipped on', therefore, you should look for the chips (behind the bumper and detach them). Never done it before, but I believe this is how it's done.

Removing rear bumper on coupe?
Anyone done this?
Yes, I STF'd but don't see anything related to the coupe.
I need to do this soon, and most especially I want to remove the impact strips.
Do I need to remove the bumper on the coupey to get the strips?
I've got a new rear bumper and it's getting painted.
I want the impact strips to get painted too....
Either way, I need to R&R the bumper.
But if I can get away with leaving it on, and managing to pull the impact strips without removing it, I need to do that ALSO.
And then do the complete swap after paint.
If it's necessary to remove the whole bumper to get to the impact strips, then I may need to drive it like that for a couple of days.
Anyone know if there's any law against driving with the bumper off?
