Hopefully, you do not have a factory subwoofer, otherwise you will have to pull that out before reaching inside. There is a connector that you release. Once you slide the bumper cover off, one end of the PDC wire will be attached to a rubber grommet. Just pull that off and your bumper should come off easily. It's really easier than I describe it. I've done it so many times now that it just feels like 3 steps.

I unbolted the bumper prior to disconnecting the PDC wire and ended pulling off two of the PDC sensors in doing so. Any tricks on how to disconnect the PDC plug/bracket (see picture). I'm having difficulties in disconnecting the plug (I don't want to break it). I've read that to uncouple it you much depress the "locking" part and then pull down the "lever" part??




I also had to remove the Heat Protection Rim that was around the exhaust opening, in order to slide out the 8mm hex bolts. That was unexpected but simple enough once I figured it out.
