Rear Bumper Removal? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So long story short...I dented in my rear bumper today but I managed to pop most of it out but I'm debating if I should just order a new one, get it painted, and swap it out with my existing one. I searched the forum but can't find any instructions on how to remove/install the rear bumper cover. Maybe it's really easy that nobody needs to ask but I'm a total noob and figured doing the labor myself would save me some money. Any help would be appreciated!!!

If you managed to take off your bumper, putting it back on should be the same way in reverse. The black plastic pop tabs on the rear fender wells, and then there are tabs on the bumper that will keep it on the sides; make sure you line it in place and it'll be on. There are also two screws near the tail light areas (one on each side). It be easier to have someone help you though. Oh, I'd recommend taping off the areas where the car meets the bumper so you don't scratch anything. Good luck!
