DIY: Rear Bumper Removal ;-)

1. Go out to dinner in your favorite car.
2. Drive like a normal person and stop at a stop sign.
3. Get rear-ended by an F-150 travelling 40 MPH while stopped at said stop sign.
4. Give a swift kick to the only plastic panel screw left in-tact.

See attached pictures to answer any questions you may have.

Lol dude that blows. A motorcycle cop almost hit me yesterday I had to swerve into the other lane to avoid him hitting me.

Totalled? I wish. I would love to start fresh.
Nope, looks like Progressive isn't gonna cooperate like I wanted.
They schmoozed me with a free tow and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo as a rental.
Now they're estimating costs based on recycled and used replacement parts... FML.
Still lookin' for a decent aftermarket bumper to match my AutoExe front bumper cover.

How's this going for you? Are you sure there's no frame damage, by the looks of the right rear quarter, it being dented big time, there must be frame damage, no?
