Hey guys, first time poster here, I've been looking through the forums and so far I've only been able to find the instructions for removing the rear bumper for the first gen tC.

My car is currently in the shop getting fixed for some front end damage, but I got into a hit and run in the past and have damage to the back end of the car which I plan on fixing myself.

The rear bumper doesn't align any more and I have some pretty noticeable gaps between the bumper and the fender. I'm pretty sure I can find some way to close it up,
even if I have to rely on zip ties to secure it I just want to make sure I take it off correctly as to not damage any of the clips...

Well...I don't have a proper set of tools, so while using an adjustable wrench, a screwdriver and a knife I set out to take off the bumper. Unfortunately when I got to the bottom push clips i used the knife to pry the clips and ended up slicing my finger pretty good.
Hilariously defeated I'm probably going to go the shop route and ask them how much it would be to fix it. I'll come back to ya'll with what they quote me at so you can get an idea what ballpark it would be in if you decided to let someone else tackle the job.

I think for now, I'll focus on that busted tail light of mine. I'm still debating whether or not to go for the Spec-D black housing (not smoked) or just a replacement OEM for the drivers side that's messed up!

You know what though I've asked around 10 people and they all said they can't really notice it or tell that anything is messed up (if i tell them to look and not really say what's messed up about it) Though if you're looking for it you'll definitely see it.

Hi, I don't have the Repair Procedures for the tC2 Bumper Removal. All I have is the Parts List Diagram.

I Hope it Helps, Best of Luck
