No it is cut out but still the same background. I just cut it out so i could change the levels of the background with out messing up the levels of my car.

not sure about the back but im in the process of installing a FMIC and have taken the front bumper off about 100 times this weekend. its way more simple then you would imagine. take out the 3 black plastic pieces in the front, they pop out from one side, just pull.

then in the holes of the trim you just removed there is two long torx bolts about as far apart as your headlights are. remove those.

then go to each side of the bumper near the wheels. what you have to do is grab the corner of the bumper and pull strait down then pull out. once the top is out pull up on the bottom and that side is out. repeat for the other side and your done. (you will have to remove the headlight washers if you have them, just disconnect the hose and kink it so your fluid doesnt leak out.)

^Yup.

As for the rear bumper, I've never actually removed mine; but as I understand it you remove it by releasing the bolts holding it in place and then it slides straight off. The bolts are in the trunk, there are two on each side. One on each side also holds down the rear D-ring for your cargo net.

is it the torx underneath the headlight one in each side or the two ahead in each side

they are here, the red lines = the bolts, the head of the bolt is on the bottom, you remove them from the space where the black trim comes out.
