pull your bumper by removing the screws and retainers where the hatch meets the bumper and the ones in the wheel wells and drop the bumper, then pull the bolts out of the tail lights and carefully remove, they will be a punk and not want to come out just take your time

Too bad. We just accessed this thread multiple times this week so we could prepare for tail light tinting. Without this tutorial we wouldn't have known how simple it is to pull off the bumper.
I'm sure it would have helped out many many more tC owners.

It was written by a member who apparently didn't want it up anymore.

Shame

Great writeup! Made me taking off my bumper a snap.. Just one thing to consider, becareful with the top clips that clip into the body. They snap really easy!
