I am removing my rear bumper and am stuck. I have removed the screws around the wheel well.. The screws at the bottom or the bumper, and the one behind the license plate. The sucket just won't come off.... Anything I am doing wrong?

Pull on it and see where it's hanging up. I think there's probably some bolts at the top too, if you open the hatch? Possibly behind the interior panels? Also, get underneath it, there's probably a bolt or two holding the reinforcement on or something.

I was bored today so I measured the JDM crx rear bumper I have and then the civic rear bumper and the dimensions are the same! The only real problem is there is no hole for the key to open the hatch.... I like how the crx bumper is one peice. And this is already painted to match my car.. So I figured hell why not give it a try and see what it looks like. But I couldn't get the bumper off :(. This weekend I am putting my JDM front conversion on (not painted :( ) I feel so poor. But I am still looking for a place to paint my car. I just got a new head unit today :) JVC SH707. It is going in tommorow. I am now saving up about $2800 for the paiint job (thought I think I can get it done for $1500-2000. Better to overestimate. I will have alot of updated pictures this weekend so I will keep you updated. On a side note: I have started the flash site for KCEF (kansas city EF enthusiasts) It is looking good but a lil boring. I will have some previews of that next week. Sorry to babble so much I am just exciting about how my project is coming together :p

there are three more bolts holding the bumper up from the inside of the hatch, remove the rear plastic panels going into the spare tire well, and remove the center light housing.
there is one bolt behind the center light, and two more at the corners on the bottom where the plastic meets the well.
