Idk have you tried looking under the car?

Yes, you need to remove the entire rear bumper. Its is VERY easy and can be done in less than 5 mins. with a set of second hands.

Yes, I second that. Front and rear covers very eazy to remove.

I recently tried and could only find the screws that hold the black valence in place (rear bumper). Would you mind quickly going thru what and where the other screws / bolts are that hold it in place.
It drove me crazy!!!!
Thanx a million.

You need to remove the covers on top of the rear taillamps, then unplug the connector under each one. Remove the 7mm screw up in each of the rear wheelwells. Also remove the 3 T15 torx screws along the back edge of the rear wheelwell area. You will need to pull out on the sides of the rear fascia then it should come right off. Make sure you have a second pair of hands.

Careful when pulling out the sides. The third snap can break if it is twisted. Try using a suction cup like they use to install glass to pull it out of the clips on the side.
