Rear bumper removal?

OK I just removed mine yesterday. I want to make some pointers for anyone who will be doing this...

-You don't have to remove the rear wheels at all. Even with a drop, I was able to do it. I did jack up each side to help get more access to the wheel wells to remove the two clips and one screw. I then put some wood under the wheels to help lift the car off the ground a bit since it is lowered and I am so tall...
-Interiour hatch panels. Be careful when you pop them out. On the rear center piece, remove the light module first, that will help you to unsnap it. Lift from the bottom and pull up a little, then lift up from the top. The two corner pieces are easy they just need to be removed carefully.
-When you reinsall the snap clips, remove them from the base of the clip to reinsert them. That is much easier!

I have a sub and amp that I hate to remove just to get the panels off to access the tail lights. So I just never reinstalled the nuts holding the tail lights inside the hatch. The lights are plenty secure by the two bolts on the outside. Problem solved for me.
