Rear bumper removal help

Anyone removed the rear bumper yet? I'm trying to remove it using the factory instructions but it seems stuck at the brake light housings. I don't want to break anything.

Anyone's done this? Any tips?

Did it to install my RW carbon difuser. You have to remove the light assemblies. 3 screws from the inside. Remove the carpet inside to get access to them

Emeric,

Did you use any of these hardware to mount the diffuser? I don't see how these can be used.

I just used rivets for the holes on the bottom.

What did you use?

Those spacers are for the exhaust tips. If you don't install the tips will be a little recessed.
