Finally got a nice day to paint my Cobra rear bumper, and now it needs to go on.

How do I remove the stock GT rear bumper? I would've climbed under and looked for bolts and such but I don't want to start pulling and prying without knowing the extent of what is involved - I have someone who wants my stock bumper in non-cracked condition

So, how is it removed?

It's a 92 'vert if it matters.

Dave,
The 3 studs with nuts on the panel behind the rear wheel is the only pain about replacing the bumper. Roll back the carpet from the sides and look toward the bottom of the rear fender and see the 3 studs I'm talking about.
Everything else is easy to do.
You should know me by now; I've got more pics if you need them.

Rock on, I should've just given you a phone call

Day off tomorrow, I will have a stab at it as soon as I get home from my tuning session

It shouldn't take long to put the bumper on, like I said there are just the 3 nuts that hold the side panel on that kind of a PITA to get to.
Did you get your rear brakes done this weekend?
