Remove the 2 plastic parts in the rear, the one on the right has your spare tire underneath it. Once those 2 are out then you need to take out your taillights. First peel back the carpet from over the hatch lock. There are 2 plastic wingnut looking things that hold each light in place. Once those are off you can pull the lights out, but only so far as you need to remove the lights from the light. (I hope you can do that) Once your lights are off then I took a crescent wrench (adjustable wrench), because I didn't know the size of the nuts, and there are also 2 of those on each side that you need to unscrew. With those 4 nuts off you should be able to pull your rear fasica off with no problems. Just remember to pull straight out so you don't fubar the threads. It took me a little longer to figure all of that out because I couldn't get my sub out of the stealthbox in the side. Should take you no longer than 30 minutes if you take your time and your careful. I had a bodyshop paint that part so you might want to search because I know there are a few people that have done this.95 3.4L <br /> <a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/1277388\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.myspace.com/1277388</a> <br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/profile/altspacen\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/profile/altspacen</a> <br /><a href=\"http://groups.myspace.com/camarov6\" target=\"_blank\">http://groups.myspace.com/camarov6</a> -
