bumper removal and a question

[rickztahone]

i know this has been covered and i did do the search for the rear bumper removal but it didn't really narrow it down. i also went to the tech articles and it wasn't there either. i know i've seen the diagram but not sure where. all i want to know is do you need to access any screws to remove the rear bumper inside the trunk? i have a lot of audio equipment and panels and what-not and since they are going to remove the bumper to paint it i need to know if i need to remove all the audio stuff. my other question is, i've seen the mods of the chin spoiler and i just want to know how to remove the factory valance. last question is, are the bushings usually covered under warranty? i want to start fixing little things that might be under warranty as it expires in 2008. sry if this post has been covered but i need to take the car asap to get painted and the warranty place needs to know what's wrong the car first. as far as the stabalizer goes, is it typically covered as well. i've heard that this is one of the parts that makes noises. sorry for the long post

that's a lot of info. from what i see it's going to be a problem just because i didn't have that part where the trunk latch is on (the plastic) when i bought it. so i put some vinyl over it and from seeing this discreption i will have to tear that off. it's a lot more work than i first anticipated. this is correct right? i thought those screws there were just negative grounds for the wires. well thanks ken for the info. and as far as removing the front lower plastic part to install a chin spoiler?
