swap rear bumper
Meant to put swap rear bumper. Dam fat fingers. Mod please correct title.
How hard is it to remove rear bumper. My buddy is selling his car and I like his bumper better than mine. How hard is it to remove and replace the rear bumper on c5 z06 both cars are same model and color.

From my own personal experience, it's not all that hard, but it's somewhat tedious. I did this last year, and A) supported car solidly, and removed rear wheels; B) removed inner fender liners; C) removed all the tailights and unplugged the bulbs; D)removed the license plate and plate housing, and E) disconnected back-up and license plate bulbs.
At this point, you can remove the retaining screws behind the license plate housing, those along the trunk lid opening, then remove the retaining nuts that go down both sides of the fascia, where it butts against the rear quarter panels, vertically, and those just behind the rear wheels, where the fascia butts up to the quarter panel, horizontally. Once they're all off, the fascia lifts off.
